02 / About

A patient eye

Camera in hand since I was six. Decades on, the patience hasn't changed — long mornings in hides, slow walks at the woodland edge, learning to recognise calls before silhouettes.

My work has been recognised by international photography awards, but the truer measure is what wildlife trusts me with: a closer minute, a quieter glance.

Based in the UK. An advocate for wild spaces and the environmental protections they need to remain wild.
