Newquay 22/03/2026 As the unsuspecting passerby strolls through Newquay, a giant cartoon hand hovers above, perfectly poised to “press the shutter” on his moment. Meanwhile, the real photographer stays invisible—except for the cheeky mural doing the job for them. A playful collision of art and reality, where the street takes the picture… and the human just happens to walk into it.

Cornwall’s towns hold stories waiting to be told through the lens of a camera. As a candid street photographer, I have set out on a long-term project to capture the everyday life, unique characters, and subtle moments that define this region. So far, I have explored St Austell, Camborne, Redruth, Saltash, Padstow, Newquay, Wadebridge, Bodmin, and Truro.
