It’s a pleasure to meet you!
I’m a photographer and most importantly, an outdoor enthusiast based in Ōtautahi Christchurch, New Zealand.
More often than not, tramping in the Southern Alps with a camera in tow.
Passionate about finding the perfect moment.
I hold over 10 years of experience in photography, inspired as a teenager by the Aberdeenshire landscape. Starting my career officially in 2017 at North East Scotland College in Aberdeen, studying a Photography HNC. Followed by a degree in Marine and Natural History at Falmouth University, graduating in 2021.
2021 started in North-East Scotland, where I was a Paddlesport Assistant, teaching photography weekly to 5-7-year-olds and running landscape photography workshops.
From 2022 to 2023, I had the pleasure of working and living at Glenmore Lodge on the Instructor Development Scheme (also known as Nightwatch).
Jumping across the ocean in 2023, I found myself as a Mountain Dispatch at Treble Cone, then shortly became a Nature Guide in Fiordland National Park. Eventually working as a Tour Guide and Driver across the South Island.
Now, I am permanently based in Christchurch.
Spending the vast majority of my time capturing some of the cutest canines or the beauty of the Aotearoa landscape.
