I initially picked up a camera in 2018 to continue the process of telling my own story after taking photographs to document my journey into the bodybuilding world through Instagram. Photography has since become a vital part of my life and helps to connect me to this world and to a part of me that I struggled to come to terms with whilst growing up. I find myself drawn to calm and delicate scenes, where the surface of glass-like water has yet to be broken, or a hint of morning mist hangs in the air. I find the process of slowing down and looking for a photograph whilst out in the wilderness rather meditative. It's a place where everything else just switches off and I am 100% focused on one thing with no distractions. If there was such a thing as a zen-state for me, then standing behind my tripod, alone, whilst surrounded by nothing other than trees, mountains and water is definitely it.
