I'm a UK-based photographer living in the beautiful county of Cumbria in Northern England.

I was given a camera by my parents when I was around six years old and this sparked a lifelong passion for photography that has never waned.

I now photograph nearly every day. I love nothing more than to share my love of photography and passion for creativity with anyone who'll listen!
