So, “where did it all begin?” Well, the hillwalking came first. It is a hobby that I have enjoyed with my family since I was very young. I have fond memories of clambering my way up boulders twice my size on Scafell Pike; and of gazing up in childish amazement at the giant rocky pyramid that we would drive past on the A82 - on our way north to stay at my grandparents in Gairloch.

Upon reflection, it’s easy to see where my awe of the majesty and grandeur of the mountain landscape came from. It wasn’t until my adulthood that I discovered a method for channeling that feeling of wonderment; the possibility to freeze those fragments of time into a real and very tangible memory - that’s when the art of photography became very exciting to me.

I began learning photography in 2020, which aligned with moving to live in the Lake District. Since then, I have developed my creative technique and ability to express myself through image-making.

Every image holds a hidden personal story. Those of you who have had the privilege to explore the mountains will understand, no hike is the same as the last. Mountains evoke powerful emotions within us. Both peace and excitement; solitude and belonging; trepidation and joy.

My objective is to capture all of those feelings of wonderment in a single frame, whilst telling a story of the journey behind each image and accurately representing the reality of existence in these wild places.
