How It Started

How it started

About five years ago in the thick of Covid Chaos I bought myself a second hand DSLR camera as a form of mindfulness, a way to quiet my mind and slow down. 

I didn't know how to "be a photographer", I didn't know my aperture from my ISO but I wanted to focus on something real. 

I am lucky to be surrounded by nature so that's where I started, in the garden, following bees around.

Photography for me isn't about perfection. My photography isn't polished. Some of my favorite shots are imperfect, a blurred bee or a composite that doesn't quite match the vision in my head.

 Some of my favourite images are "technically wrong" but that's the beauty of it. Every image carries a piece of me, my curiosity and my love for nature's fragile details. I am chasing the raw, fleeting moments that remind us we're part of something wilder than algorithms and to remind myself that done is better than perfect.

Art doesn't need to be flawless. For me, it just needs us to show up and to care. Our planet needs us to do the same. I try to use photography as a tool for awareness and inspire others to see nature differently; not as a resource, but as a fragile masterpiece worth noticing and preserving.

When I'm not lost in the garden taking photos of bees or experimenting with creative composites, I collaborate with kindred spirits, brands, conservationists, and dreamers who need photography, editing, or design with heart. If that's you, let's create something honest together.
