A little bit about me.

I took up photography in the search of finding my own personal space where I could explore the world around me, be creative and start to deal with my depression and anxieties.  That was 15 years ago and I am so glad I took the plunge.  For the first time I found a medium I was comfortable with and a space to explore my creativity having never be adapt at using my hands or words.

​

As I learnt to break down my mental health challenges into manageable sizes and the approach soon found its way into my photography.  I love to break down a subject into smaller elements or find something ordinary and try and show it in an interesting or unusual way.  I started my photographic journey with churches as there were many in and around where I lived and they were challenging to photograph especially the interiors.  My photography has recently moved towards a more documentary style and more project based.

I am a very proud member of the Royal Photographic Society and honoured to have achieved their first Distinction, their Licentiate.  I am now working towards their second, the Associate photographing a local Heritage Railway, Peak Rail.  Details of the project can be found here.
