Journal
Welcome to my journal page, a space where I explore the intricate alchemy of life and art. Here, I delve into the raw, often unseen aspects of my creative process – whether it’s the thrill of working with analogue techniques, capturing the wild beauty of Cornwall, or sharing insights from recent projects, a personal exploration of the art that fuels me, the landscapes that inspire me, and the journeys that shape each project.

The day of the dead

Film photography in the modern world
Does film photography still have a place in the modern world? is it at all relevant with the constant upgrading of new digital sensors that capable of resolutions that we only dreamed of? With the simplicity of taking digital images, that can be edited, uploaded, shared and printed with seconds of being taken, why would [&...
