MY STORY

Photography has always been close to my heart, ever since a young age. Currently, I live at home in North Devon with my wonderful ginger cat Bingo and alongside photography I also love music, classic cars and surfing. Art is something imperative to my being, I find myself captivated by composition, narratives and expression. Through artistic mediums I really found myself, and through photography I found a natural talent- I began to enter and win landscape and nature photography competitions in my early teens. I continued to take my camera with me wherever I went, and undertook photography courses to hone my skills. When I went to college, I found new inspirations in portraiture, skate and film photography- learning and experimenting how to get the perfect portraiture shot whilst capturing the essence and energy of people, sparked something within me.

I later gained a BSc in Marine Biology, and became a fully qualified surf instructor working at beaches around North Devon. I also spent years abroad working as a surf instructor and photographer. To do so, exploring everything I loved about photography, from nature, to lifestyle, to portraiture, as well as utilising my skills as an advanced surfer to capture perfect surf shots, once again sparked something within me. Coming home, I continued to develop my photographic theory and practice, my love for photography as strong as ever. I would cruise the Devon and Cornwall coastline capturing nature shots, and spend time at my local break Westward Ho! photographing surfers. Most recently, I have had my surf photography featured in Carve Magazine, a shot I took at a secret spot along the North Devon coast- which is beyond a dream come true.

Finding sanctuary in nature and art, I grew to truly understand where my energy and inspiration came from. My passion for artistic theory and talents in those practices are at the forefront of my work, and most importantly my innate love for photography.
