I am a photographer, lecturer, tutor and book author based in Surrey. I started to seriously engage in photography when struggling to juggle the demands of family life, motherhood and a stressful job. Spending time outdoors and photographing became my way of balancing life.Initially, I photographed almost exclusively landscapes, drawing my inspiration from scenes in the natural world that evoke a sense of tranquillity and harmony. Often, I’d be drawn towards the less obvious details in the landscape - such as shapes, patterns or a particular colour – making them the primary subject of my images. In the last few years, I have become fascinated by street life and architecture and have photographed extensively in cities in the UK and abroad.I use a variety of techniques to capture my response to a scene and recreate it for the viewer through my photographs, such as long exposure, multiple exposures, camera movement and deliberate defocusing. I love exploring new cultures and feel equally compelled to capture the beautiful evening light by a lakeside, the strong graphic lines and reflections of city architecture or the essence of life and countryside of new locations abroad.In 2014, I published my first book The Elmbridge Hundred – A Visual Journey, which was a companion piece to a community project about the history and heritage of my local Borough of Elmbridge. I have curated several art exhibitions and judged international photography competitions, such as the UK Landscape Photographer of the Year competition. I teach and lecture on photography, and also work on commissions for individuals and organisations. In 2018, I joined Light & Land, the UK's premier photographic tour company, as a tour leader. My images have been published and widely exhibited in the UK and Europe, including the Mall Galleries and OXO Gallery in London, and the Horizons Photo Festival in Zingst, Germany, and are held in private collections in Europe and the US.
