I’m a marine mammal biologist and photographer. I was born and raised in the UK but have been lucky enough to travel extensively with my work. I'm currently based at the Sea Mammal Research Unit in St Andrews, Scotland, writing a PhD on East African humpback whale migration. The photographic work involved in my PhD - photographing whales to help identify the movement of individuals - led to my great love for photography. Over the last few years it has become a very important part of my life. My camera allows me to record not only data for my research, but also the places, people and wildlife that I encounter through my work, travels and life in general. With each of my photographs I try to produce a beautiful, natural looking image, that reflects the true feeling and emotion of the subject. Whether it is your baby’s smile, the breach of a whale or the glint in a bride’s eye, I always do my best to capture and record that moment. Although I love taking photographs on location, I also enjoy studio photography – the power of lighting, clothing, and a well-posed image can be truly striking. I hope you enjoy looking through my portfolio and should you wish to discuss your own shoot or you would like to purchase any of the images featured, please feel free to email me via the contact page or buy directly through my site.
