I’m a photographer and writer based in West Sussex, UK. My practice is mainly an exploration of the climate and nature crisis which I regard as the most important issue of our time.
This crisis is caused by centuries of contempt for our home planet. Individuals, businesses and governments have overseen endless digging, polluting, burning, spraying, blasting and destruction.

Our food, water and oxygen come from the wild processes of the Earth. We came from wildness and when we forget this, we place ourselves in opposition to the Earth that sustains us. I wish to recover my connection to the wild and help others to do likewise. More …
