I’m a creative director, photographer and writer working across travel, hospitality and lifestyle.
I create written and visual stories for brands that want to communicate the character of a place, property or experience in a natural and engaging way.
My background combines senior agency experience at Ogilvy and Wunderman with an MA in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography. My photography and writing have been published in titles such as SUITCASE, The Times, JRNY, Geographical Magazine, and Bradt Guides.
I can help shape your story, make it on location, or offer creative consultancy on your brand narrative and content.
Alongside commissioned work, I’m the founder and editor of Far From, an independent publication about slower, more attentive ways of travelling.
