I am a landscape photographer based in the Cotswolds, UK.  My passion for photography began early in life and continued throughout a long career as a film producer in London.  Since leaving the film industry in 2020 it has become a full-time pursuit.

Much of my time is spent immersed in the landscape, drawn to its quiet rhythms and subtle variations of light, colour and form. Being in nature, while trying to capture its elemental beauty, is a restorative activity for me.  It brings stillness, clarity and a profound sense of wellbeing.  Creating work that reflects something of my emotional relationship with the landscape is more important to me than a literal representation.

My approach is intuitive – guided by whatever catches my attention in the moment. I have spent many hours photographing the movement of grasses swaying in the wind and am fascinated by the serendipitous nature of this kind of photography and how the ephemeral can be captured.

Motion plays an important role for me, with its capacity to transform the commonplace into the poetic.  I’m drawn to the lyrical, and often use slow shutter speeds, camera movement and multiple exposures to create images that evoke nature’s enduring rhythm and flow.

I have no expectations when exploring the landscape and remain open to the subtle beauty nature presents.  Looking for fresh ways of interpreting this beauty is the focus of my approach.
