Growing up in Cornwall, a small county in the South of England, has given me the opportunity to experiment with the ocean creatively. This eventually led to me finding my feet (or flippers) in the surf photography world.

I’ve been fortunate enough to live by the coast most of my life. Growing up in Cornwall, a small county in the South of England, has given me the opportunity to experiment with the ocean creatively. In my late teens, I found myself feeling the need to document my everyday surroundings and occurrences, and it was around this time that I purchased my first DSLR camera. This eventually led to me finding my feet (or flippers) in the surf photography world. Whenever the opportunity presents itself, I hop on a plane and start the next adventure.
