Portishead has been home for a few years now, and I love it - not too big, not too small, and always close to the water (when the tide’s in, at least). It’s big enough for good coffee, but small enough that the barista already knows my order! I grew up in Warwickshire and later spent many years living across various continents and through plenty of change, including all the ups and downs of parenthood.

From a young age, I’ve loved anything creative – painting, doodling, collecting far too many pencils and filling sketchbooks. That love for making and creating eventually led me to study visual communication – lots of designing, experimenting and bringing ideas to life. It was here I went into a darkroom for the first time and discovered photography. A darkroom is like walking into another world – everything quiet, calm, and slowed right down. I still remember standing in the red light, patiently waiting for images to appear, and since then, I’ve been totally fascinated by the magic of making pictures!

When I’m not behind the camera, it’s yoga to reset, travel for perspective, coffee to savour, cats for company, family to come home to, watching films to unwind, good food to share, watching things grow in my garden, anything herbal, and sunlight to brighten everything!
