About
I didn't set out to become an artist.
Like many photographers, I began by searching for interesting places, beautiful light, and moments worth capturing. Photography was about discovering what already existed. Everything changed when I began studying photography at university. It was there that I realised a photograph didn't have to document the world. It could build one.
From that point on, I stopped asking, What can I photograph? and started asking, What do I want people to feel?
Today my practice centres on storytelling.
I create carefully constructed photographic works that explore the emotional and psychological moments that shape our lives, often the moments that pass unnoticed until they have already changed us. Rather than documenting events, I build visual worlds around fleeting experiences, stretching a split second into something that feels almost timeless.
My work begins with personal experience, though it is rarely about my own story.
The emotions, questions and ideas I explore are informed by my life, yet they are intentionally left open so viewers can bring their own experiences into the work. I don't want to tell people what an image means. I want them to discover what it means to them.
Alongside my artistic practice, I study psychology. Understanding ideas such as attachment, identity, resilience and emotional regulation has given me a richer language for experiences I was already trying to understand. Those ideas don't become the subject of my photographs. Instead, they shape the way I think about emotion, symbolism and visual storytelling.
Photography is simply the medium I use.
At its heart, my work is about creating space for reflection. Whether exploring wonder, grief, hope, identity or transformation, I want each image to become a conversation between the work and the viewer. If someone leaves one of my photographs seeing a part of themselves more clearly, then the work has done its job.
Stories have the power to help us understand ourselves.
