Who am I…?

From the moment I first held a Minolta XG-1 as a teenager, photography became more than a hobby — it became a way of seeing the world. Learning to shoot fully manually, understanding light, depth of field, and the exposure triangle, and spending time in the darkroom developing black-and-white film taught me patience, intention, and respect for the craft, principles that continue to shape my work today.

My move into digital photography began in 2004 with a Canon PowerShot A85, followed by a series of DSLR cameras. Initially, photography was about capturing family life and travel, but over time, my focus shifted towards landscape photography and the quieter moments within it. Each progression refined my eye rather than simply upgrading equipment.

A pivotal career change in 2014 reignited my creative drive and drew me more deeply into landscape photography. Travel to places such as New York, Iceland, and Paris played an important role, but it was the experience of slowing down, observing light and weather, and waiting for the right moment that truly reshaped my approach. This journey eventually led me to a full-frame workflow and the Canon 5D Mark II.

Today, I shoot with the Canon EOS R6, supported by a carefully curated selection of lenses. My editing process has evolved through years of working with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, guided by continuous learning and inspiration from photographers who value subtlety, mood, and authenticity over spectacle. I still consider myself a work in progress: curious, reflective, and always learning.

Alongside photography, I work as a paramedic and senior lecturer, training the next generation of clinicians. These roles demand observation, calm decision-making, and an understanding of people — qualities that inevitably influence my photography. Making images allows me to slow down, reconnect with place, and restore balance away from a demanding professional life.

Photography, for me, is about presence rather than perfection — noticing the light, responding thoughtfully to the landscape, and creating images that feel calm and considered.
