When he's not working on assignment for clients worldwide. Quintin creates photographic artworks in series based on long landscape walks and aspects of the built environment, which are available as signed prints. In 2015, Quintin embarked on a 10,000km walk, in sections, around the British coast. He called the project The Perimeter, and many of the images he captured are available as prints.
