TRAVEL PHOTOGRAPHER & VISUAL ARTIST

Photography from journeys, things I notice and places I return to.

JOURNEYS

Photographic journeys through France, Scotland, Italy, Spain and beyond — following the streets, light, people and quiet moments that give each journey its character.

FINDING SOMEWHERE THAT STAYS WITH YOU

What I love about travelling is arriving somewhere new without really knowing what I'm going to find.
