At the moment Iā€™m rebuilding this site and sorting out my general online presence. The links below will allow you to help support the work I do, buy things as they become available, and to follow my Instagram where Iā€™m most active at the moment.

There is a general plan for 2026 which includes the releasing of a series of prints from my Wrexham AFC project along with a book. Prints are first and should be available by the end of February, and the book will be sometime after the end of the current football season.

Other projects will be available in both zine and book format covering a range of things Iā€™ve worked on from about 1996 to present day.

Along with short form posts on Instagram, as I move towards doing my PhD, I intend to start writing longer posts as a blog on Substack. Iā€™ve finally hit that point where the character count on Instagram is holding me back.

Everything will be on this site in time, but it takes a while to build something from scratch.

SUPPORT ME

Most of my work is made off my own back and for no pay. With my Wrexham work, I buy my own tickets, I pay my own coach fare for away days, and I make the work because I believe in it. A lot of the work I make is done in that fashion because this isnā€™t my day job and I believe in staying as independent as possible, free to make the work I want, and tell the stories I believe in.

I donā€™t like asking for things, but if youā€™ve perhaps enjoyed my work and want to help me continue making it, while staying independent, then consider buying me a decaf tea, or a zero alcohol cider through this handy link: https://ko-fi.com/oliverstephen

It doesnā€™t seem like much, but being able to have some liquid refreshment or a snack on a day Iā€™m shooting makes all the difference, and it enables me to keep doing what I do.

SHOP

For those interested in owning copies of my work I have a store over on Ko-Fi where you can buy copies of my zines, and in the coming months prints and books.

Floodlights Vol. 1 and 2 wonā€™t be reprinted in their current format, so these are the final copies. They will be collated in to a new book, with additional new images, later in 2026.

Non-Sequitur is an ongoing project of ā€˜randomā€™ selections of work, mainly colour, with each issue being a limited one-off run of 50. When theyā€™re gone theyā€™re gone.

You can find the online shop here: https://ko-fi.com/oliverstephen/shop

While Iā€™m sorting out this website, a Substack, and my online shop you can find me over on Instagram here:

I post quite regularly but take forever to open messages and look at comments because I tend to ignore my phone most of the time.

These are just a bunch of photos that didn’t make it into any other posts, and aren’t really part of anything I’m working on at the moment, but that I like. All were taken during January in a variety of places in Wales. _ #photodum
I’ll keep this post honest, because that’s what I expect of myself, and what I hope people would expect of me. I suppose the short version, which most people would do, would be: “I have zines for sale, and prints coming soon. Please
On Monday I was in Chester for a meeting about starting my PhD, after it I had some time to wander the town, get some food, and take some photos.
It’ll be odd to say, but I felt something like this was coming for most of this season. Something felt off on the pitch, and so when it was announced that James McClean was leaving for Derry, I wasn’t really surprised. He’s been su
It's currently half-time, and I'm watching this match from home. I have family in Norfolk, and I'm a massive fan of Alan Partridge so I've got a little bit of a soft spot for Norwich... but I want them to lose of course šŸ˜œ I'm not at the match today
It was foggy after work, so I went for a walk around Wrexham. Yep. That’s it. Fog. Photos of fog. Pulitzer Prize winning caption right here. Fog.
This morning my folks took me to @stasaphcath to see the Last Supper sculptural installation by Peter Barnes. While there I also had a wander around the space of the cathedral itself. I’d never seen the sculpture before, and I was really take
I don’t understand Friday yet, so I’m having trouble writing about it. Of course, I could just not write about it, give a basic list of where I went and be done with it. Also, I know I’m writing this mainly for myself, so it doesn&r
It snowed late last night, so instead of staying inside all warm and cosy, I grabbed my camera and went for a long walk around Wrexham. I had a lot of fun.
