About Me
I'm a photographer and writer specialising in sustainable travel, outdoors and the environment. I’ve worked as a photographer for twenty years and my work has been featured in a wide range of national publications and campaigns.
My career started with guidebook photography for Rough Guides where I covered various destinations including Reykjavik, Copenhagen, Prague, Florence, Berlin, Yorkshire, Norfolk & Suffolk and Dorset, Hampshire & the Isle of Wight, among others.
I was the ‘roaming photographer’ for Visit England for a couple of years and this role led me to work with many tourist boards across England, including Suffolk, Leeds, Harrogate, Bournemouth, Lancashire, Derby, Birmingham, Stoke-on-Trent, Essex and many others.
My work for GreenTraveller also took me to many parts of England, especially the Areas of Outstanding National Beauty (now known as The National Landscapes). I was especially taken with Dedham Vale, The Forest of Bowland and Arnside & Silverdale as result of this work.
During this time, I also undertook plenty of commercial work for clients like Airbnb, Momondo, The National Forest, Stagecoach and Cool Camping, among others.
I continued to work for Rough Guides on the digital side, after they stopped commissioning guidebook photography, and this led me to write about aspects of travel photography like safari, blue hour, sunrise and sunset.
After joining the British Guild of Travel Writers in 2016, I began to undertake commissions for magazines like National Geographic Traveller, Travel Africa, Travel Weekly, Canadian Geographic and crucially, it led me to start writing travel pieces, too.
In order to educate myself, equip myself with better critical appraisal skills as well as have a specialism, I completed an MSc in Environment and Sustainability in 2020 and have been using it to inform my writing and photography projects.
Since then I’ve written for The Independent, The Guardian, Time Out, JRNY Magazine, TGO, Wanderlust and others on sustainability topics, especially flight-free travel.
My most proud moment as a photographer was being selected to document Prince Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh’s state visit to the Atlantic Island of St Helena.
I continue to undertake commercial and editorial travel shoots (often combining with writing stories for national press) and recent clients include Intrepid, with whom I’ve documented trips to Albania, South Africa and Sweden and Tourism Ireland.
I write a regular Responsible Photography column for The GreenTraveller Magazine.
