It was a fascination with the landscape and rocks of the Scottish Highlands that set me on the path to geology, first in research and later in technology development. That moment arrived when I was seven years old, driving over the Applecross Pass on a trip to deliver Black Isle tomatoes. We stopped, and I saw the hillsides cut by the Moine Thrust. Curiosity took over. I needed to understand how this happened. From there, the path was set: a love of rocks, of landscape, of understanding and telling these stories.

I wish I could say the same for photography. I have always enjoyed pictures and the act of taking them, but it was not until 2016 that I bought a Nikon D5600, a competent camera that let me explore the technical side of image‑making. What followed were years of mistakes, with the occasional hit, as I learned to see properly. I am still learning, and I always will be. That is as much the joy as the final image.

I have been lucky to see some remarkable places, even while working. I am British, raised on a farm in Norfolk, then moved around the UK before heading to Australia, first Far North Queensland and then Western Australia. In 2019 I returned to the UK and now live in Surrey with my partner. Landscapes differ across the world, but I have realised a beautiful image can be made anywhere: at the front door, on the Norfolk coast, or during a winter work trip to the far‑north Arctic. I work full time, but getting out with the camera is my meditation, and I am excited to share the results with you.

The science of geology and the art of photography are complementary in helping to tell the story of our world’s landscapes and the life that inhabits them. Seeing the patterns in geology exposed in a rock outcrop is the other half of seeing the art that can be captured. Each is the story of the other.

Thank you for getting to this point, and thank you for finding this website, and viewing some of my images. This is a story still being written, and I will try to keep things updated. I want to share the way I see landscapes, nature, and the occasional piece of remarkable engineering. I am also an educator, giving professional and public lectures on AI, geoscience and technology, and I hope to bring photography into these future endeavours.
