Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
A unique and extraordinary existence, to photograph the world in my own way, to tell my own stories....
ABOUT ME
I was born in London in 1989, but moved to to a farm in South Wales when I was nine years old. Since then I have developed a great love and affinity for the outdoors, for the natural world, and for a simple, organic existence. I have spent the last 3 years in Scotland studying for a history degree. For my final year thesis, I took Chris McCandless, the American leather tramp who travelled the American West searching for an ascetic, simple, Tolstoyan existence in the wilds, and searched to see if others had been driven by similar motivations in earlier American History. I also specialised in Environmental History, studying the environmental implications of the past deeds of our predecessors. My heart is town between my family home, a peaceful haven in the welsh countryside, and Scotland, where the Highlands provide a playground for whitewater kayaking and mountaineering, two activities I rely on to affirm my soul!!
PHILOSOPHY
Bankruptcy of pocket, or bankruptcy of soul.....
