A little about what I do and how to contact me.
About
Photographing people is my favourite thing to do, especially when they’re doing the thing they love. I’ve been fortunate enough to have photographed many artists, authors, potters and musicians. I’ve shot for book jackets, album covers, art catalogues and had a book of portraits and studio shots of ceramic artists published by A&C Black. I’ve […]

Music
In 1999 I recorded my first album as a singer/songwriter and guitarist. A mellow affair with guitars, double bass, piano, drums, string quartet and woodwind. The first song on the album, Untie my Tongue, has been used as the theme tune for Writer’s Cafe. You can find the album on iTunes or contact me for […]
Geoff Fuller Potter Portrait
So sad to hear the news that the great slipware potter Geoff Fuller has died. He was a one off. I had a great time photographing him and his work and use his pots everyday. He gave me a 2 litre bottle of home brewed ale from his pub, Three Stags’ Heads, ‘for the drive […]
Mel Gooding: Art Historian
So sad to hear the news today that Mel Gooding, writer, critic and art historian has died. I have worked with Mel often over the years and interviewed him about some of the artists that we show at the gallery. He was fearless when talking about art and I learnt and saw something new every […]
Mo Jupp Portrait
Very sad to hear the news that Mo Jupp has died. A lovely man and a very interesting and inspiring ceramic artist. I met him briefly while photographing Daniel Smith and only took one shot of him while we had lunch. This is it.
What People Say
As we visit each potter in turn, we get a sense of entering a mysterious, private domain. Each one however, reveals the skirmish of creation. Highly recommended.
- Craftsman Magazine – Angie BoyerThe immense visual pleasure of the book lies in the delightful, intimate portraits of potters at work: a laughing Gordon Baldwin, dressed in black and white in largely white surroundings, producing monochrome work: a merrily barefoot Jennifer Lee; Daniel Fisher pulling a face as he concentrates… The photographer, Jay Goldmark, has caught the potters in shots both informal and highly focused – a happy mix.
- Galleries Magazine – SDJay Goldmark’s photographs in this book must be lauded. I have seen him at work and can report that he is the least invasive of photographers: discreet, opportunist and eagle-eyed… a good looking book with substance, honesty and surprise.
