As a photographer and scientist, I use photography to document the outstanding biodiversity of Earth and address issues of rising conservation concern.

​

My early life was spent living in the urban sprawl of Birmingham, UK, where local parks were my only exposure to the natural world. I eventually studied biology for my Bachelor's, specialising in conservation during my Master's, where I developed a heavy interest in entomology, global biodiversity declines and sustainable development. I purchased my first camera to capture threatened butterflies during my Master's, realising the potential for sharing engaging stories that could captivate the general public.

​

Since then, I have worked mainly in the tropics, including the Amazon and Borneo, documenting and studying the most biodiverse systems on Earth. After witnessing the intense pressures of agricultural land-use change, I have undertaken a PhD to explore restoration of riparian buffers within oil palm plantations in Sumatra, Indonesia, with the aims of enhancing biodiversity and valuable ecosystem services.
