PUBLISHED GARDEN PHOTOGRAPHER UK
PREMIUM PHOTOGRAPHY for DISCERNING GARDEN PROFESSIONALS
Garden & Flower Photographer UK
Introduction
I am a premium fine art garden and flower photographer in the UK. My approach, mastery of natural light & analogue film is how I create timeless images of gardens & flowers, and is what helps to set my work apart from other garden photographers.
I want people to see garden & flower photography differently, and to be evoked by what I create.
AS NATURAL AS NATURE
Philosophy
Gardens & flowers have the ability to stir, inspire, and enrich our lives.
I seek to convey the subtle nuances of a garden through considered, thoughtful photography, using complimentary natural light and my grandmother's eye for beauty.
Traditional film and a portrait lens help give my work continuity & authenticity, with colour and perspective as close to how we see the world through the naked eye. My photography is as created on film, without post manipulation.

Let's create something
beautiful together
As I build my portfolio over the forthcoming months whilst navigating garden & flower photography, I would love to work with likeminded garden, flower and landscape creatives on mutually rewarding projects.
Previously, as a UK leading Fine Art Wedding Photographer, I invested time to push my creativity. Working toward an exciting common goal, collaborations are perfect for elevating one's creativity, with the added potential of being published.
A Musing
Rousham, Oxfordshire
It was the Dovecote with espalier pear and apple trees adorning its walls in the Parterre rose garden that first drew me in. On arriving, my first glimpse of the Pigeonaire stole my heart, then when I visited the 'Vale of Venus' garden, my senses were ignited.
Despite heavy rain throughout the day, I was able to capture some of Rousham's beauty, and cannot wait to visit again in different seasons.
I am alone, there is no one in this space to disturb me. There is birdsong, a gentle breeze and the sound of my heartbeat. My eye is drawn to an occasional ray of sunlight that ascents the garden and I ponder over this moment.
The garden is dotted with historic flair as well as modern finesse and completed by its planting. My breathing becomes in tune with the garden's rhythmic movement as a breeze gently weaves a path through. Our souls collide. The charm and beauty of this place awakens my desire to immortalise this moment in my heart, for every such moment is transient and irretrievable.
Not one day, moment, second is the same, nor will I discover every story conveyed before me. But, that is not the purpose here; it is to delight, respect, appreciate and to capture. As I raise my camera to my eye, this moment can only be captured with the right amount of sensitivity and vision. It is then that the magic reveals itself to us.
