BIOGRAPHY
Based in Wales, UK, Leighton is a self-taught photographer whose black and white imagery reveals a keen sensitivity to contrast, mood, and texture. Influenced by the distinctive vision of Saul Leiter, Elliott Erwitt, Fred Herzog, Robert Frank, Vivian Maier, and William Eggleston, his work uncovers the quiet beauty found in everyday urban life.
Drawn to fleeting moments and overlooked details, Leighton transforms city streets and architectural fragments into visual reflections on light, shadow, and human presence. Whether working with digital or film, his photographs convey a thoughtful curiosity for the ordinary—inviting viewers to pause and see the familiar with fresh eyes.
Through his lens, the seemingly mundane takes on new significance. We invite you to explore Leighton’s work, to find inspiration in his ability to reveal beauty in the unnoticed, and to experience the world around you with renewed attention.
