Need some advice?

I am obsessed with interiors and I never stop thinking about how to improve the environment around me. I’m always organising, rearranging and decorating, to create the best possible space to live in. One that is comfortable, warm and pleasing to look at.

I’m really happy to help if you have any questions. Perhaps you have questions about what frame to choose, sizing or how to combine artworks?

About my art

I am a British food and drink photographer, capturing colourful still life photography.

My work is both nostalgic and futuristic, exploring this tension without judgement.

My imagery is modern and playful, showcasing the edible colour palette through bold contrast and vivid hues.

I create graphic, minimalist compositions that showcase stylised food textures.

A feast of visual interest that holds the eye…

Visual aesthetic

I create colours with clarity and intensity.

I use a variety of light techniques depending on the subject and mood, but I really love the clean colours and crisp shadows of hard light.

I enjoy crafting short, beautifully shaped shadows that mimic a high, bright summer sun.

I infuse my imagery with cool white light with a hint of icy blue.

Why I create

I have been creating my whole life. I just cannot stop myself.

I have periods of extraordinary flow where I can produce almost unlimited creative works, where my mind fires all day and night with new ideas and inspiration.

There is no more enjoyable state.

Studio location

My studio is based near Leeds, on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, one of the most beautiful places in the whole world. I love all the greens, the cool greys and the ever-changing landscape of weather – sun, rain, rainbows and hail, all in one summer day.

I am based in an incredible 1880s cotton mill, in a tiny village surrounded by hills and sheep. Industrial architecture and design is a huge passion and the north of England has some truly exceptional buildings – the huge south-facing windows, tall ceilings, airy rooms, textured stone walls and steel beams make these structures some of the nicest I have seen.

My studio is filled with natural materials, metal racking, vintage props, photography equipment and kitchen tools. There is always lots to eat.
