I am an award-winning British photographer based in London and the North West. I studied at Westminster University.
My work has been exhibited worldwide and published in the UK. In 2018 I was shortlisted for the British Journal of Photography’s Portrait of Britain with Cosima in the Music Room with Bat and in 2019 Grandma on Christmas Day was in both the Portrait of Britain and Portrait Salon. In 2018 I took part in the 209women project where 209 women photographers photographed all 209 women MPs celebrating a centenary of votes for women and also in 2018, I was nominated for the Royal Photographic Society's list of HundredHeroines.
“My practice focuses on people, place and identity. It is the everyday, the mundane that absorbs my interest. Those quirky rituals that we all employ, each one a trace of our reality, that make us independently and collectively who we are.”
My work is held in private collections and has been exhibited in shows across the world.

In more recent years, a handful of cottages have been renovated and are occupied by people who do not work on the estate. The current landlord is 96. As is tradition, the whole estate will be inherited by his son.
