I grew up in Winster, a small hamlet in the Lake District, Cumbria. This landscape and culture continues to have a strong influence on my life and work. After working as an Exploration Geologist internationally, I began working professionally as a Photographer and Filmmaker in 2012. I now live in Manchester, the kindest city in the world.
As a documentary filmmaker, photographer, and video producer I am interested in developing narrative identities and attachment to place. My practice combines ethnographic principles, participant led co-creation and cross-disciplinary storytelling to explore methodologies for social engagement and re-appropriation of space and cultural identity.
Recent commissions include “Out of the Woods”, a short film exploring identity and sense of place in Home Wood, Bradford through dance and community narratives, and “HIV + Me” a three-part series screened at cinemas and theatres across the UK aimed at informing and destigmatising contemporary perspectives on HIV.
