Beautiful, unusual photographic art.

 

Photography, for me, has always been a gateway to other worlds, either real or imagined.

Learning a second language is often seen as way to connect more deeply with different cultures; personally, photography is that second language. The tone of the light during different times of day, colours, and faces, all form a syntax of place. Framing and absorbing experience via camera has become both ritual and instinct, part of an ongoing dialogue that fascinates me. And so the imagery I make tries to capture those experiences, the evocative beauty of unexpected encounters, people and place.

With a wide background in filmmaking, broadcast, and tech, I find the photographic process incredibly rewarding as it blends so much of this together. I have spent over a decade working in television, including landmark factual and natural history programming such as Our Planet, Dynasties, Blue Planet II, Planet Earth II and The Hunt. Crafting images out of light continues to fascinate me.

I also create surrealist ‘otherworldly’ pieces in response to areas of academic theory and knowledge practice that I’ve stumbled across. Merging photographic and digital tools, I craft ethereal compositions with a painterly aesthetic as a way of exploring ideas around society and our place in it. These pieces are drawn from a wealth of influences, amalgamating mythology and portraiture with a background in dance. Layered textures and beautiful colour palettes are combined with evocative folklore-esqe figures to create haunting imagery that plays with themes of identity, transformation and belonging.

So far my travel photography has been published by National Geographic’s YourShot and Telegraph Travel, among others, as well as featured on social media around the world. In 2012, I was awarded Special Recognition by Light, Space & Time Gallery as part of their juried exhibition, CityScapes, and my short art film, Neried, was nominated for an RTS student award. My work has been exhibited in York, Bristol and London and, in 2018, I one of twelve selected for Art&’s Raw Talent scheme.
