I’ve recently spent a few early mornings driving an hour or so to photograph wild flowers in the woodlands. It was a joy to then come across this patch of cows parsley on Saturday in Lewes during the photo walk, so close to home and equal in it
Hey all. I hope you like this last set of pics all taken between Birling Gap and just past the lighthouse. Last push to get a few more to join me this Sunday to walk this glorious route along the coast before a stunning sunset finale on the beach. 5

Here are a few recent pics from Abbotts Wood. A woodland that feels like an old friend, as I’ve visited so many times. A little poem too that I wrote while I was there one morning. I hope you like it. “Who knew what the hue of violet an
One of my favourite photography walks of this year was certainly last Friday along the Cuckmere River. I was running a one-to-one photography session at the time and we were blessed with wonderful conditions and a super low tide. Such a delight to be

The conditions for Sundays photography workshop at Birling Gap were truly perfect. The wind was calm, the sun was warm and the sky performed for the finale. Such a lovely group of people too. Here are a few of mine from the outing. #birlinggap #birli

  • Hello and welcome. I’m a full-time freelance photographer based in Sussex with over 10 years of professional experience. My services include event photography, interior photography, portraits, and photography tuition. Additionally, I have a passion for capturing the stunning Sussex landscape.

    I prioritize using natural light and often venture onto the South Downs at dawn to achieve the best results. I also enjoy photographing during unusual weather conditions. My artistic focus is on bold colours, emotional expressions, interesting textures and lines, movement, and creating unique images.
