About me...
I have worked as a photographer and darkroom technician since 1998. Over the years I have used a range of cameras, Nikon FM2n, Nikon FG, Nikon D200, Zeiss Ikonta, Box Brownie and iPhone SE.
After transitioning to digital in 2010, I returned to analogue in 2023, built a darkroom and started again. In an era shaped by AI, returning to analogue felt like a long awaited homecoming. My portfolio combines analogue and digital work from 2000–2026, I have worked in many fields, but mostly social documentary, this includes weddings, portraits and social events, but predominantly travel.
Since childhood, I wanted to be an explorer, spurred on by the introduction of Indiana Jones, my interest in anthropology evolved and I graduated from SOAS, University of London in 2017 with an MA in Anthropology of Travel, Tourism and Pilgrimage.
In 2025, I began a solo expedition to travel around the Arctic circle. Using both digital and film, I aim to photograph 'Modern life in the Arctic' and document stories above an invisible line from historical accounts of conquest toward a more contemporary view of the impacts of global worming and climate change.
All words and images are my own.
