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 […]
Norman Ackroyd: Artist Portrait
I had a fantastic visit to Norman Ackroyd’s amazing factory building in Bermondsey, London yesterday. He regaled me with stories of his travels and philosophy toward his art and working practice.
Grahame Wheatley | Artist Portrait
Born in Leicester in 1943, Grahame Wheatley was eventually to study at the city’s Polytechnic, emerging with a first class degree in Fine Art in the late 1970s.

Terry Willson Artist Portrait
So sad to hear the news of Terry Willson’s passing. He was a very talented printmaker and artist in his own right. He was also a troubled soul. Terry Willson was born in 1948 and was a well known British printmaker, painter, teacher and master printer. Willson’s art education was extensive: he studied at Huddersfield […]
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.
