ABOUT ME

My photographic practice is dedicated to capturing the beauty of the world and its wildlife through my camera lens

.

Growing up, I was always fascinated by the natural world and its beauty. Many of my favourite childhood memories are that of going on outdoor adventures with my family. Similarly, I have always been drawn to animals. From your stereotypical pets to more exotic animals, birds in the wild or animals found in the zoo. Animals, of every single shape and size bring beauty, peace and meaning to the world. They each play a role in keeping our planet alive and thriving. Being around animals has always brought me joy, a form of happiness that I have never being able to experience elsewhere. Their diverse behaviours and unique personalities add a richness to life.

​

At the age of nine, I received my first camera. Creativity runs in my family, and my grandad, a photographer, had often let me use his (with stern warnings to be careful!) and eventually got me my own. Throughout my teenage years, I constantly captured images, both with my camera and smartphone, finding joy in preserving moments of beauty.

​

Now, as I approach graduation with a BA (Hons) in Photography, I use my Canon EOS 5D Mark III to showcase the world's beauty as I see it.

My recent body of work ‘Our Wild World’ is a project that I began with the intention of changing the way humans view animals. In a world with millions of species, yet one where humans dominate, it is often overlooked that all wildlife of all sizes have unique personalities. By using a telephoto lens to really get up close to the animals, I have used my images to capture those personalities, show the animals quirks and create images that provoke an emotional reaction between the viewer and the animal. I took a unique approach to this project, using a portrait style when photographing the animals which gives an almost human-like feel to the images.
