About me

I am a photographer working at the intersection of ocean, people and climate change.

My work focuses on those whose lives are closely connected to the sea, from traditional nature-based solutions to innovative climate startups. Through photography, research and interviews, I explore how communities experience and adapt to a changing ocean.

Alongside my photography, I work in climate innovation, supporting adaptation and resilience initiatives. This background shapes how I approach storytelling: grounded in place, informed by science, and attentive to the human scale of environmental change.

I want to work with organisations and individuals committed to protecting the ocean and supporting communities innovating and adapting to climate change.
