Throughout my journey as a photographer, I have had the privilege of meeting a diverse array of individuals, each with their own unique stories and backgrounds. Every encounter has enriched my perspective and inspired my work. Along the way, I have been fortunate to receive several awards that recognise my efforts and dedication to the craft. These accolades not only validate my passion but also motivate me to continue capturing the beauty of nature through my lens. With each photograph, I strive to tell a story and celebrate some of the remarkable people I have met, making every moment a memorable chapter in my journey.

Princess Anne

Introduced to Princess Anne before I spent the day photographing her for Tesco's at the 2012 International Sheepdog Trials.

My best event image!
