About Me

                                                                                                             
                                                                                                              My passion for photography ignited when I was 15. Initially, you could                                                                                                               find me photographing random objects at home and various flowers in                                                                                                               the garden, but it quickly intertwined with my love for the natural                                                                                                                     world.
​
                                                                                                              Although I took photography courses at A-levels, I am mostly self-                                                                                                                      taught and have gained invaluable assistance and advice from other                                                                                                                     photographers over the years. I also worked at a camera store for a few                                                                                                               years, where I learnt the invaluable skill of teaching basic camera                                                                                                                         knowledge on a 1:1 and group basis, and led Big Cat Photography                                                                                                                         group courses in order to help individuals improve their skills and                                                                                                                       awareness in manual photography.
​


With a degree in Animal Conservation and Biodiversity, my understanding
of the natural world goes beyond merely capturing pictures. I have
developed practical field skills and a deep appreciation of animal behaviour,
enabling me to better understand and photograph my subjects. I am also
an avid birdwatcher and have learnt to recognise and predict behaviours
which are a huge help when photographing them as a subject.

                                                                                                              Since June 2021, I have been holding a variety of group photography
                                                                                                              workshops at the UK Owl and Raptor Centre in Groombridge, Kent.
                                                                                                              I have formed a close bond with the team and many regulars who                                                                                                                       frequently return to refine their techniques with our tame subjects.
                                                                                                              By controlling where the birds land and fly, my customers can grasp                                                                                                                   the technical aspects of photography more quickly than they could in                                                                                                                 the wild.
 


Additionally, I offer 1:1 tuition at Nature Reserves or Wildlife Parks to further develop your skills with my support.
In these sessions, I can help you with modifying your camera settings and honing the wildlife field skills I have utilized for years to build my current portfolio.
