You have my sympathies if you don't enjoy having your photo taken, I don't either, which is why I tend to stay on the other side of the lens and why I make it my mission to put you at ease so you look relaxed as well as 'professional', or 'creative' or 'approachable' or 'hot' or whatever adjective or combination you'd like to be.

It's been quite a journey to get to the New Forest and I'm very excited to be here. I've been a photographer for over 10 years and before that I worked in PR and journalism. So I understand how photographs work with words and media channels and the whole communication caboodle.

Until fairly recently I was mainly focused on travelling the world shooting destination weddings which was obviously a dream job and I absolutely loved it. Until weddings and in particular weddings abroad, were no more...

But it's OK! I love the outdoors, especially the sea and the mountains and the forest. I sail and I ski and I walk, with a dog or with a friend or, more often just with my camera. I've moved my base from Yorkshire and the Languedoc to the loveliest part (IMO) of Hampshire where there is no lack of perfect backdrops and wonderful individuals and their extraordinary and diverse lives to photograph.

I can't wait to meet loads of new people and immerse myself in the communities where they live, work and have fun. See you soon I hope x
