I am a British photographer specializing in black and white images. The use of monochrome reduces scenes down to basic shapes, tones and textures so often fits the mood created in the images although colour is used occasionally.

Biography:

Growing up in the Ribble Valley in Lancashire, England, I began to appreciate the beauty of the British countryside at a young age. I also often visited the coast with family for days out and holidays so have many fond memories of being beside the sea. These places are where I now feel inspired to create images, drawing from memories and how these locations have changed since.

After university, I relocated to Manchester and started a family. It was having my first child ten years ago that ignited the passion for photography, beginning with portraits of my daughter. Shortly after the birth of my second child in 2013, I enrolled on an evening photography course, discovered a passion for long exposure monochrome images and have been building this body of work ever since. Determined not to let my limited mobility hold me back, I often research disability friendly places to visit on days when I feel able.

I have won multiple awards for my work, a selection of which are listed below. I have also had my work featured in magazines, blogs and featured image galleries alongside some of the country’s best photographers. I would consider the highlights of my photography career so far to be gaining my LDPS and LRPS Distinctions which are recognized standards of achievement throughout the world. I am now keen to progress onto the next level and so I’m currently building up a new set of images to be assessed.
