About Me

I live and work on the Rame Peninsula, where the sea continues to shape both my life and creative practice. Much of my work begins through direct experiences on, in, and around the water. Swimming, walking the coastline, observing changing weather and light, and returning repeatedly to familiar places that never appear quite the same twice.

Alongside my photographic practice, I have spent twenty years working in education, teaching photography.  This background has strongly influenced the way I think about creativity, process, and communication. Continually learning, synthesising, and experimenting with materials and processes, I am interested in work that invites careful attention and emotional connection rather than spectacle.

Both of my degrees are centred around photography.  My MRes took more of a print-focussed approach.  The shift from the haptic experience of working in a darkroom environment to a more binary digital workflow was initially confronting.  Developing tactile and sometimes alternative approaches to digital processes has enabled me to stretch the capabilities of my materials and work more intuitively.

Printing forms a central part of my practice. I often wonder whether I am as much a printmaker as a photographer. I am fascinated by the physical qualities of an image and by the relationship between process, material, and audience. Whether working digitally or experimentally, I see printing as an essential part of making rather than simply a method of reproduction.  Images often progress through many iterations before a final print is produced.  All prints are produced in house.

This website functions both as an evolving gallery space and a place to share carefully produced prints and projects connected to the coast, immersion, and lived experience of landscape.
