Quiet Coastlines is here! My book is available for pre-order!

I'm really excited to finally share this with you.

My photography book, Quiet Coastlines, is now available to preorder. This book has been years in the making - not just in the time spent putting it together, but in the photographs themselves. It brings together around 15 years of my seascape photography. Years spent exploring the coast, chasing light, experimenting with my photography and learning to see the ocean in different ways. Over that time, the sea has become much more than a subject for my camera. It's shaped how I see the world, how I slow down and notice things, and how I approach my photography. Quiet Coastlines brings those experiences together through photographs from around the British coast, alongside words, memories and reflections from my journey - Please support me and this project in becoming a reality during this pre order stage! Thank you all :)

Finding Your Own Path

Imposter syndrome can make us believe that everyone else is better, more successful and further ahead. As a photographer, I’ve spent years comparing my journey to others - until I realised that their path is not mine. There is no single route to success, creativity or photography. We each have our own unique way of seeing, creating and moving through the world. This is a reflection on comparison, confidence, finding your own path and learning to see yourself not as an imposter, but as someone creating a new route of their own.

Iceland Photography Workshop for Women: A Creative Adventure

After a year of planning, I joined forces once again with Angela Nicholson, founder of SheClicks, to lead our second collaborative photography workshop - this time taking 12 incredible women deep into the wilds of Iceland.

Over seven unforgettable days in February, we explored epic winter landscapes - from roaring frozen waterfalls and vast glaciers to crystal-blue ice caves and dramatic black sand beaches. Beginning in Reykjavík, the journey quickly unfolded into moments of awe, creativity, and connection - including witnessing the Northern Lights not once, but twice.

More than a photography workshop, this experience was about community, confidence, and creative growth. Women from around the world came together, supporting one another, sharing ideas, and forming friendships that extended far beyond the camera.

Because these trips are never just about the photos - they’re about shared moments, meaningful connections, and coming home with full memory cards and even fuller hearts. ✨

Embracing the Art of Being a Multi-Genre Photographer

I’m a multi-genre photographer drawn to the landscapes, people, stories and moments that shape the world around us. My work spans everything from seascapes and wildlife to portraits, travel, documentary storytelling, commercial projects and lifestyle imagery. I’ve never believed in choosing just one genre - creativity isn’t meant to be boxed in.

Exploring different styles allows me to grow, evolve and stay inspired. Each environment teaches me something new, and every shoot holds its own story.

Dehancer - What is it and is it worth a subscription?

As a photographer first and foremost, my workflow has always revolved around Adobe Lightroom. But in recent months, I’ve started exploring video as well - mainly using DaVinci Resolve - and one plugin that keeps coming up in both worlds is Dehancer.

If you’ve ever looked for a way to add authentic, film-like colour and texture to your digital images or video projects, chances are you’ve heard the name. But what exactly is Dehancer? And more importantly - is it worth paying for?

Dehancer has kindly given me a free subscription for the purpose of testing, and they’ve also offered my followers 10% off.

Losing My Instagram: What 25,000 Followers Taught Me About Social Media

25,000 followers. 15 years of work. A creative community I loved. And one day… gone.

Well, not gone exactly - my Instagram still exists, but I can’t access it. No reason, no explanation, no warning. Just like that, I was shut out of the place where I had been sharing my photography, my projects, and my voice with the world for more than a decade.

The shock of it all left me frustrated and heartbroken. But it also left me with a question I couldn’t stop thinking about: Is social media really as important as we think it is?

Introducing my Go-To Presets: A Collection born from light, flow & intuition

Creativity, for me, has always been a dance—an ebb and flow between light, feeling, and trust. Photography isn't just about capturing what I see, but how I feel in a moment. Over time, I found myself gravitating toward a handful of consistent editing styles—ones that felt like second nature. These became the foundation of my new Lightroom preset collection: Ebb & Flow.

Editing in Lightroom: How to Perfect Your Image and Show What You Felt

Usually my editing is pretty basic, taking less than 2 mins to finish an image. The majority of the time I keep this to a minimum as the best part for me is being out taking the photographs, but, the final step in crafting a photograph is editing. Its how I personally get to complete the process of showing the viewer what I saw and how I felt in that moment. There’s no hard and fast rules when it comes to editing - its all part of the artistic process and something that can be very personal to you. But there’s no denying it; its those finishing touches preparing the image for how you want to share it with the viewer that complete the process. Some people add a preset they have bought off someone else or just shoot in Jpeg and don’t edit at all. There’s all ends of the spectrum, but for me it's more than just tweaking brightness or adding a filter or a preset - editing in Lightroom is where you get to transform your vision into reality. You've already poured emotion into your shot, and now it's time to fine-tune those details to ensure your audience sees what you saw, and feels what you felt. But to get there, you need the right tools and techniques. My process is a fairly simple one, so have a read and an insight into a pretty basic guide to make sure you get the most out of Lightroom when editing your photos.
