The outdoors has always been where I feel most like myself. Today, that translates into a creative philosophy of finding beauty in the quiet and overlooked.

I was born and raised in Nottingham, and while the Midlands played a vital role in the early stages of my work, I now reside on the border of Northumberland. Living between the sprawling coastline and the region's industrial past has truly shaped my raw, documentary approach to image-making.

Although photography has been a constant in my life since my late teens, I spent over a decade in the professional post-production world—directing and editing content for small businesses and major brands.

Most recently, I shifted my focus entirely to my personal photography. I’m currently working on various long-term projects, notably All That Remains; a visual study of the disused and forgotten corners of Northern England.

I run a YouTube channel where I document the process of photography—the successes, the failures, and everything in between. Away from the camera, life is fairly simple; I’m usually spending about 23.5 hours of the day with my Golden Retriever, Lupin, who is significantly better at navigating the British weather than I am.
