“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”

My Approach

I translate feelings into imagery—capturing the mood, details, and the spaces in between. My work is an exploration of presence, light, and stillness.

 

Three words
that define my work

Candid

Unscripted & real

Intuitive

Guided by feeling

Emotive

Depth in simplicity

So, who am I?

 

 

I've been taking pictures for over 15 years, mostly self-taught. I fell in love with photography at a Waldorf Steiner school in the Cotswolds, where my mom donated her darkroom gear. I enjoy capturing raw emotions in nature and between people. I mainly use a digital camera but occasionally shoot with analog because it's unpredictable and fun. Getting the perfect shot takes planning and thought - once you snap, there's no going back!

Meet Me & my lovely fam

They are my backbone, my constant source of happiness.

We are a reflection of the people who surround us. I'm proud and honoured to have these amazing creatures as part of my life (yes, that includes myself).

Creativity flourishes when we share the same vision.

Photography is a shared experience. Before we create, we’ll connect—ensuring our visions align in light, texture, and feeling.
