My Camera & Me
I’ve always been drawn to the camera, not just as a tool, but as a way to see and share the world. Capturing light, movement and moments allows me to tell stories, connect with nature, and bring experiences to life for others.
WILDLIFE
There’s a real sense of achievement in finding and capturing wildlife in the wild. Every shot is a reward for patience, observation and persistence, and it’s incredibly satisfying to freeze a moment that might otherwise go unseen.

A lifestyle shoot was delivered for RidgeMonkey Outdoors in Snowdonia, capturing products in real outdoor environments. The focus was on natural backgrounds and practical use, creating versatile imagery that supports lifestyle marketing, campaign assets and long term brand storytelling.

My photo and video work is built around a reliable, professional setup designed for real-world use in challenging environments. I work within the Sony ecosystem, which allows seamless integration across cameras, lenses and accessories, giving me consistency, speed and confidence in the field. This setup supports everything from wildlife stills and long-form films to commercial and brand-led projects, ensuring high-quality results whether I’m working solo or on assignment.
