My Story
​
Where it all began
My love for photography started during my time as a ski instructor. Armed with GoPros and compact Nikon pixel cameras, I began filming the action and capturing the atmosphere in the mountains. That’s where I first discovered the power of photography and video editing — learning to tell stories through frozen moments and short films.
​
A constant companion
Later, while serving in the Royal Marines, photography became more than a creative outlet — it became a lifeline. I travelled extensively in extreme and unpredictable conditions, and photography helped me make sense of those moments. It gave me a way to document the rawness, the beauty, and the unexpected calm in wild places.
​
Slowing down during lockdown
During the COVID-19 lockdowns, I found myself returning to photography with a renewed focus. I’d go on long walks near home, taking time to photograph landscapes and local wildlife. The stillness gave me a deeper appreciation for my surroundings and sharpened my eye for detail — skills I carry forward into every project today.
​
Setbacks and new gear
My first proper camera was a Nikon D7200, bought when I decided to take photography more seriously. It served me well — until it was stolen during a skydiving trip in California. That moment, although frustrating, marked a new chapter. I replaced it with my current kit: a Nikon D7500 paired with a 50–300mm lens — a setup that’s taken me across the UK and beyond.
​
Capturing challenge and beauty
One of my recent projects involved an attempt to climb Gran Paradiso in the Italian Alps. It was a tough challenge, but also a chance to shoot some truly striking alpine scenery. Moments like that remind me that even when nature tests you, there’s always beauty to take away.
