I am a photographer located in Wells, England although I occasionally visit Cardiff.

Photography has always interwoven throughout my life but it was not until the age of 17 that I was given an opportunity to study Photography at A-Level alongside a BTEC ND Graphic Design. This was the beginning of a close relationship between the fundamentals of graphics bonding with photography which has fused into my own unique contemporary style. The passion I felt for photography made studying it at University an easy choice and that enthusiasm led me to achieve a 2:1 BA Hons Photography degree.

My style is highly influenced by the natural world around me, I am in awe of the organic splendour which many people in this busy day and age seem to rush by. I love spending many hours in forests or fields, watching the sun grace across the sky and change the surroundings with its glorious light. Although I am not limited to the pleasant days, I embrace all winds and weather as well as day and night to try and build a connection between nature and myself and express this bond photographically.

To sum up... I would say my style is Art Nouveau meets its Contemporary counterpart. I also work within digital manipulation and general photo editing. Examples of all described can be found on my devART and personal website, links below.

With regards to shoots I will message/email with details.
