After cutting lawns for a year at the age of 11, I bought my first camera. I knew I wanted to take pictures and make memories. I had spent my youthful years looking through my mother’s photo albums and old black and white imagery. I would look at a photograph and sit imagining what life was life back then, who people were and what they were thinking and doing at the time it was taken. The emotions which stirred in me by simply looking at a photograph was something I wanted others to experience from my photography.

So I bought an Olympus OM-10. A great camera and I still own it today - I rarely shoot film anymore though.

Many years later and I am still composing, styling and capturing. I have spent years as a full-time professional photographer but decided two years ago to slow it down in favour of my other passion - flying.

Nowadays I shoot mainly landscapes whilst I travel, but I still love stepping back to portraiture now and again.

I also shoot the occasional wedding; a stressful adrenaline-ride-back-itch which has to be scratched now and again.

I am available for bookings both in the UK and further afield. I love collaboration with models, Make-up artists and other photographers. To get in touch, please email me at:

I look forward to hearing from you.
