📷 My Approach to Photography
I work primarily with a leica Q2 . This simple but powerful combination helps me focus on the essentials — light, texture, and form — while giving me the freedom to respond to a scene with spontaneity and care.
My goal isn’t just to capture an image, but to invite the viewer to slow down and truly see — to notice the subtleties of colour, shadow, and surface that we so often overlook.
Through my photography, I aim to reveal the hidden depths of the natural world. I’m drawn to unusual angles and unexpected perspectives, often choosing to photograph from viewpoints that challenge perception and encourage a fresh way of looking. Whether it’s a close-up of lichen on stone, the curve of a dune, or a reflection in a puddle — I seek the beauty in the overlooked.
In all of my work, the message is simple: there is wonder everywhere, if we take the time to really see it.
🎨 Artist Statement – Acrylic & Mixed Media Painter
As a mixed media and acrylic painter based in Lincolnshire, I don’t set out to create art about any one specific subject — instead, I’m guided by instinct, emotion, and the inspiration I find in everyday surroundings. I’m rarely without a sketchbook, always observing, always capturing fleeting moments of beauty that might otherwise pass unnoticed.
My work aims to be emotive, thought-provoking, and expressive, combining broad brushstrokes, rich colour palettes, and textured surfaces to bring life and movement to each canvas.
I’m especially drawn to the interplay of light and atmosphere — from the warm hues of dawn to the dramatic shadows of sunset — often depicting scenes that reflect both natural landscapes and urban environments. Through bold marks and confident colour, I strive to reflect the emotional energy of a place, inviting the viewer to feel rather than just see.
My goal is not to replicate the world, but to evoke its spirit — to transform a landscape or city street into something vivid, immersive, and deeply felt.
Whether I’m working on a windswept coastal vista, a bustling market street, or a quiet tree line at twilight, my aim is to capture the spontaneous beauty that surrounds us and express it in a way that resonates.
