Give me the natural elements wind, rain, sun, water and earth and I feel the wildness that it evokes. Freedom I felt whilst walking in those wild places from roaming in the Indian valleys of the Himalayas to the beautiful intense red earth of the Australian outback. I like to celebrate the wind whipping up hair, stormy skies and water droplets running down the skin. A beauty that is straight forward without ego, based firmly in nature.

I shoot good honest photography with beauty and strength. In bringing so many elements together with control but also knowing when to let the subject be free and real. My work spans across fashion, lifestyle, kids, still-life and food photography, editorial and advertising.
