I'm a socially engaged photographer living in rural County Durham. My work often focuses on rural issues, people and place, and is rooted in a strong connection to the land. I'm a founding member of Wideyed, a member of The Photobook Club Collective and I'm motivated to present my work in unusual ways, with each opportunity a chance to reimagine it for a new space or audience.

My current work Archiving Dad is soon to be self published by Wideyed Editions. Two bespoke handmade book objects have been thoughtfully developed in collaboration with Stanley James Press.

I also develop and deliver participatory photography projects in the community, recently working with Jack Drum Arts / North Pennines National Landscapes on a Land of Lead and Silver commission, and with Northern Heartlands / Into The Light Cultivate Commission.
