About Me

I am a photographer, a journalist and a historian. I live and work in South Africa. I moved here from the UK in 2007 and since the move, photography and journalism have become my passion and my future. I have been engaged in a variety of different projects including weddings, location and wildlife shoots.

I have written and photographed a book about the David Rattray Foundation, which is now available for sale. I am also a published journalist, having written articles for the Zambian Traveller magazine.

I am available for commissions of any kind, whether they be photographic, written or a combination of the two.
