Linden-Wood became involved in photography in 2016 through the Disability in the Arts, Disadvantages in the Arts group, which gave him a grant he used to buy his first DSLR camera.

He has taken part in group exhibitions and entered competitions, receiving several commendations.
He was recently part of the “Catapult” group exhibition at Gallery Central in Northbridge, where he entered a series of photos called ‘The Unused Model’ which featured a mannequin.
