Artist Statement

I am a freelance photographer and designer currently working both in industry and in educational settings. My knowledge of digital photography, digital imaging, design for print and design software, (with a specialisation in magazines) is relevant and up-to-date. I love creating opportunities for students to succeed in these mediums.

Examples of my work can currently be seen in Cotswold Style Magazine (social events, portraits and town feature photographs).
