I was raised to find contentment and joy in noticing.

Photography gives me a deep sense of grounding, a mindful practice of immersing myself into an environment, observing it’s details, and responding to the ways I resonate with it. I treasure undertaking projects that are close to my heart, making considered photographs that explore our experiences of life and our interactions with the world around us.

I work on location with brands, publications and organisations to tell stories that engage and inspire. I’ve enjoyed working with Canon, Le Monde, John Muir Trust, Mazda, Hope Technology, Ashden, Bontrager and The Financial Times, amongst many others.

I’m currently undertaking a self initiated long form project around Wharfedale, work which revolves around themes of landscape, society and identity.

I’m based in Ilkley, Yorkshire. I’d love to chat about your next project. If you’re nearby, pop round, I’ll get the kettle on. If you’re a bit further away, get in touch using the links below.
