PRACTICE
I’m a photographer fascinated by the dialogue between our inner selves and the external world and the inherent vulnerability that comes from belonging to multiple spaces (and yet nowhere at all). I’m drawn to our oceans, the people who live by them, and the stories we tell of ourselves.
In my water-based work, I swim and dive alongside my subjects. I center human stories while de-centering specific individuals. Sometimes, the human figure might appear small, more a measure of the vastness around them. Or, even when the people fill the frame, their faces are often blurred or turned away so the viewer both looks and is made to look away — privy to (yet removed from) an overheard moment. This anonymization is not an act of erasure. Rather, it enables the person’s presence to register without asking anything more of them and shifts the focus instead to the environments we inhabit.
My work includes Coldwater Sessions (on show in Edinburgh through October 2026) and The Weight of Water.

COLDWATER SESSIONS
Coldwater Sessions is a nod to surf, music, and skating, where a session is as much the process as the result. These images follow that rhythm. They’re fragments from a morning half-happened, sitting somewhere between documentary and dream.
First exhibited: Artisan Roast, Bruntsfield, Edinburgh, 2026.
THE WEIGHT OF WATER
This ongoing series goes down, below the stories we tell of ourselves to worlds we hold but can’t yet name. It unfolds across four chapters. Each image is planned with the subject on the surface and made on a single breath underwater.
