Hello
Welcome to heritage celebration
Overview
I am a visual storyteller residing in Hampshire, England. I write about and photograph a diverse range of heritage subjects for books, cultural projects, and editorial purposes, all infused with a fine art aesthetic.
Indigenous communities possess a shared identity woven together through collective geography, memories, language, and values, which shape a distinctive culture. My writing and photography aim to capture the unity and trust built by heritage. I hope this evolving collection exploring nationhood inspires and uplifts you.
Photo Essays
In the monthly ‘Incredible Journey’ newsletter, I create insightful photo essays that blend destination writing with documentary photography to showcase national folklore, heritage and culture.
