My inclination toward photography comes from my parents, who both shared a deep interest in capturing the world around them. My father is a classic nostalgic, photographing weddings in his youth and then transitioning to documenting our family life for the archives, while my mother spent years both photographing and painting the wildlife around us. Growing up around their work gave me my sentimentality and an appreciation for capturing real people and real moments.



This foundation later merged with English literature studies at University. Immersing myself in classic texts and narrative structures taught me to look closer; to observe character, pacing and the subtle nuances that bring a story to life. That literary lens translates directly into how I capture details today, whether focusing on spaces, human connection or fleeting moments.
