As an experienced photographer drawn to unusual, sometimes overlooked lives on the margins, I see photography as a form of emotional observation – capable of communicating what words alone cannot. 

My career is grounded in long-term relationships and ethical collaboration, even in the alternative performance and fashion worlds I initially called home. In my most recent work, I explore how personal histories, mental health, and environment intersect – most recently in rural or socially isolated settings. Inspired by contemporary documentarians who challenge traditional notions of objectivity in documentary practice, I create honest, empathetic visual narratives that challenge stereotypes and foster connection. 

My project explores the profound impact of a late ADHD diagnosis on the life of Wayne Yalland, who is captured at a pivotal moment – just before he begins the difficult process of clearing his home. I offer an unflinching look at his living environment as a mirror of his mental state, revealing the duality of his inner experience and challenging traditional narratives of disorder and shame. As both subject and collaborator, Wayne contributes to a visual and emotional narrative that centres his voice and highlights the cost of being unseen for too long.

I plan to build on my 17-year-long photography career, working in the documentary field as well as continuing my commercial and editorial work.
