My studio practice is shaped by editorial storytelling, my love of 35mm and medium film photography and playful still life compositions. My process weaves material ritual, visual symbolism with a little modern mysticism and atmospheric observation. Photography, for me, is an intentional practice of visual world-building, often searching out the magic in the simple and the everyday.
In my artworks I love to explore how light, environments and objects carry emotional and symbolic weight, where composition, texture and natural elements conspire to create a subtle sense of narrative and visual presence. In other words, connections - to self, to each other, to nature and to the moment.
I’m increasingly drawn to mixing alternative photographic processes to collage together works that combine photography with mixed media, installation, video or written word, letting ideas cast spells across paper, screens or canvas.
Combining my art studio work with brand photographer storytelling and portraiture allows me to fully embrace my lifelong love of grassroots culture across all art forms with the work all informing each other.
“A bit awkward, always looking for the magic in things, hopeless at small talk…
I’ve always loved witnessing the relationship between performers and their audiences, it’s something I’ve missed from that part of my life. Probably the reason I enjoy photographing people and all the things they do…”
