... early stages of planning
I am currently connecting with a small number of flower growers whose stories capture my heart, to ask if they would like to work with me from next year as their beautiful spaces start to burst with life.
I will photograph what captures my heart and the hearts of whom I work with. Each grower will receive an online gallery of images from my visit/s to view and download for themselves.
It would be lovely to think that maybe some of our stories might be published too!
I am excited to see who will join me, and to relish in spending time with like minded soles that love exquisite outdoor floral spaces too.

My Approach to photography
I view myself as an artist, that happens to use a camera to create artistic images with a Fine Art aesthetic. I work in a considered way, with a delicacy of touch, utilising subtle, natural light. It is authentic, with colour that echo the colours in real life, and created on analogue-film.
Film is natural, organic and inspiring, which is part of why it is so beautiful to work with. There is an intimacy and a level of respect when working with film. Its dynamic range is diverse, and forgiving in harsh, unforgiving light. Its grain is dreamy & romantic. Film provides a beauty, and depth that is untouchable by any other photographic medium.
