I came to photography by an indirect route: dog training, breeding falcons, years in life science product management. I think that's shaped how I see. Each of those worlds demanded close observation and a particular kind of patience, and those habits are still at the centre of how I work.

The biology came first. An MSci from the University of Bristol gave me a framework for thinking about the natural world not as backdrop, but as relationship: between species, between places, between what remains and what is sadly disappearing. Photography became the way I share what that attention gives me.

Most images begin with slowing down. Noticing how light falls. How a species moves through its environment. What a landscape is doing, rather than what it's supposed to look like. I'm drawn to moments that feel genuinely true: ones that hold the scale of nature and its intimacy, its resilience and its fragility.
