Hi! I'm a young embedded software engineer and landscape photographer from Warwick, England. My work focuses mainly on traditional landscapes, but really anything outdoors will catch my attention if I can capture it in an interesting way. I most enjoy capturing mountains and water, and endeavour to take yearly trips to mountainous areas for photography and hiking.

How I Got Here

The time-lapse photography technique had caught my eye in nature documentaries, and in 2011 I played around with shooting my own sequences using a webcam. The next year I started GCSE photography and began using a DSLR, which allowed me to pick up photography as a hobby. Over time, my GCSE and A-Level work pushed me to experiment with many different technical processes including time-lapse, long exposure, infrared, HDR, stacking, hyperlapse and videography (some of which can be seen on my YouTube channel).

Photography (including frequent time-lapses) continued for several years, and I visited the Southwestern US in 2015 which likely sowed the earliest seeds of my particular interest in landscapes. Around the same time I also started editing my images, something which is now a key part of my process. Through 2016, Instagram provided a catalyst for me to take photography much more seriously, and I stopped shooting time-lapses. 2017 is the year I consider myself to have become “a photographer” and is where the content on this website begins. The months leading up to visiting California for my first photography-specific trip marked a major milestone during which I concentrated on landscapes and made significant efforts to improve my skills. As a result, in the US I was able to start capturing the kind of spectacular landscape images I had always envisaged.

In 2018 I visited the Italian Dolomites, where I was able to really advance on the skills I developed in California for the first time since, and in 2019 I upgraded to my current camera, the Canon 5D Mark IV. 2019, and particularly 2022 and 2023 following the pandemic, have yielded a transformation of my technique towards one which produces higher quality, less-extremely-edited images with a focus on good composition and lighting.
