I’m a photographer based in the Medway Towns, with much of my work rooted in the landscapes closest to home. I'm especially drawn to the River Medway, which cuts through this cluster of towns in Kent, and to the coastal communities found across Britain. My practice focuses on documenting the everyday people and places that shape these environments.

My drive to document comes from a deep interest in archival practices and the importance of preserving records of a changing landscape. This perspective is informed by my previous role as a Senior Imaging Technician at the British Library, where I worked on the digitisation of a vast archive focused on the Gulf Region. I also collect found vernacular photography, building a personal archive that continues to inspire and inform the visual direction of my work.

Currently, I work at Comic Relief as Photographer and Creative Asset Manager, overseeing national and international photography commissions across both documentary and commercial projects. I also lead as principal photographer on a variety of shoots throughout the UK.
