About me

About me

I’m an award-winning photographer and writer specialising in capturing authentic food and travel experiences, unique ways of life, cultures, and traditions.
My approach is to show what it feels like to be in a place and interact with its people.
My mission is to turn real moments into moving visual stories that inspire curious travellers to go further.

I’ve worked for many amazing clients including National Geographic Traveller, The Sunday Times, JRNY, Lodestars Anthology Magazine, Nikon, Waitrose, Eater, Devour Tours, Lidl, Tesco, Pernod Ricard to name a few.

I am a photography educator and regularly share my expertise online and in-person at the National Geographic Masterclasses
I’ve taught more than 100 students and love mentoring talent on a 1-1 basis.
