"My photography style is journalistic and I improvise most of my sessions. Most of my sessions take place in the scenic landscapes of Gloucestershire, which I am still exploring on my many hiking trips and trail walks. My technical skill comes from my background in journalism but I didn't actually grow up wanting to be a photographer. I wanted to be a dentist like my dad! He died when I was eight and left behind an absolute treasure of v8 video tapes from our growing up in the nineties. When my sister digitised them, I really saw the value of leaving a record for your kids. It sounds so cliché, but a photo of an ordinary day will mean everything one day. Photography really is bittersweet."
