Portishead has been home for a few years now. It’s one of those places that feels just right - not too big, not too small, and always close to the water (when the tide’s in, at least).

I grew up in Warwickshire and later spent many years living across various continents, collecting experiences, perspectives, and a fair share of life changes along the way - including all the ups and downs of parenthood. Those years taught me a lot about people, connection, and noticing the small moments that often end up meaning the most.

Creativity has always been my happy place. As a child, it showed up as painting, doodling, and amassing an ever-growing collection of pencils and sketchbooks. That love for making things eventually led me to study visual communication - lots of designing, experimenting, and bringing ideas to life. and It was there that I first stepped into a darkroom.

A darkroom feels like entering another world, all quiet, calm, and slowed right down. I still remember standing in the red light, waiting patiently for images to appear on paper. I loved it and was completely hooked. That sense of quiet observation, of noticing and letting moments unfold, is something I still carry with me every time I pick up a camera.

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, films to unwind, good food to share, watching things grow in my garden, anything herbal, and sunlight to brighten everything!
