About Me
As a professional creative based in Cornwall, I specialise in photography and filmmaking, with a deep-rooted passion for conservation and the natural world. I hold a BA in Marine and Natural History Photography from Falmouth University, where I honed the skills that now allow me to capture the beauty, intricacy, and emotion of the world around us.
Alongside my creative work, I volunteer as a qualified Marine Mammal Medic with British Divers Marine Life Rescue - a charity dedicated to rescuing seals, dolphins, and whales. I regularly respond to call-outs for stranded cetaceans and seal pups and am proud to be a trusted member of this compassionate team of medics.
As someone who is dyslexic, dyspraxic, and autistic, I have navigated many challenges throughout my life due to the way my brain processes information differently. These experiences have given me a profound appreciation for diverse ways of thinking and perceiving the world. As a passionate advocate for neurodiversity, I give talks that share lived experiences of autism, creativity, and inclusion - engaging audiences with honesty and heart to foster understanding, kindness, and compassion.
My journey into photography began when my family gave me a 35mm Canon SLR for my 16th birthday. From that moment, I was captivated. What started as a spark of curiosity grew into a lifelong pursuit - a commitment to telling meaningful stories through imagery and film, and to using creativity as a bridge between people, nature, and understanding.
My work now encompasses moving image and I have made a number of short films including the very popular ‘Sensory World’, which describes what it is like to have a sensory overload, and ‘Seal Rescuers’ which was made in collaboration with British Divers Marine Life Rescue and Cornwall Seal Group Research Trust. Most recently, I have worked on projects with Cornwall Wildlife Trust and Your Shore Network to create films such as - Seagrass in Mounts Bay, showcasing the beauty and importance of seagrass ecosystems in Mounts Bay area. I enjoy working with friends and on my latest projects, I turned to my friend Claire’s Conservation Media for assistance.
