My Story

The journey continues

I spent 10 years in Sydney Australia working as a filmmaker and directing actors. I had my own small production business and made short films for festivals on the side. My photography career began after I left Australia and began travelling around Southeast Asia. I became interested in telling stories about minorities or people out on the edges of society: the Muslim Uyghurs in China, the slums of Mumbai, the remaining Buddhist monks of Mongolia, child wrestlers in Pakistan.

After a year long collaboration in Pakistan, documenting the lives, stories and cultural diversity of women there, life took many diiferent paths  after a young Malala Yousafzai, a subject I had photographed,  had been shot by the Taliban. My work went on to be featured internationally in the likes of The Guardian, CNN and New Statesman.

I since moved to the UK and was able to begin using 35mm film again. Film is my preferred medium as I enjoy the tactile qualities of developing and printing. I began to make small visual poems that explored the UK landscape. Inspired by Japanese Haikus and the simplicity of Zen imagery and philosophy. 

I have since gone on to create many successful project which commissions from Historic England, NHS or eth UK Arts Council. My work has been exhibited nationally from the V&A in London to the National Media Museum in Bradford. I

In addition to be visual art I have had a prosperous career writing and photographing for magazines. My expertise varies from writing feature articles , human success stories to editorial photo features.
