I am a wildlife and landscape photographer living in the east of England. My background is in traditional photographic representations of wildlife and landscape, but I recently completed a BA in photography with the Open College of the Arts,. As I progressed through my studies I began to question the ways I represent the world.

My current work is inspired by wilderness and the natural world which I explore by walking. My inspiration is often not the wilderness of wide-open spaces but wilderness on a much smaller scale: woodland footpaths or the way an old brick wall is reclaimed by the wild. I have a passion for the natural world and spending time with nature and am concerned about the current and future effects of our climate crisis. My work is often informed by photographers and artists such as Eliot Porter, Paul Gaffney, Hamish Fulton, Joe Cornish, Chris Pakham and Richard Long and author Robert Macfarlane, all of whom portray wilderness, often by walking.
