Photography

My photography explores moments that feel both intimate and overlooked, childhood wonder, quiet structures, weathered spaces, and the way nature and time leave their mark. I’m drawn to scenes that feel lived in rather than staged, where emotion exists naturally, whether it’s a child lost in play, water resting on a surface, or a bench slowly being reclaimed by moss. These images are about presence, noticing what’s happening right now without forcing it to be something else.

A recurring theme in my work is contrast, softness against structure, movement against stillness, youth against age. Industrial elements like piers, iron gates, and brick walls sit alongside organic forms such as trees, vines, water, and foam. Even when the subject is rigid or architectural, I’m interested in how light, weather, and time soften it. Nature is never separate in my work, it’s always interacting, creeping in, breaking through, or quietly holding space.

Color and texture play a subtle but intentional role in my photography. I gravitate toward muted tones, natural palettes, and tactile details, droplets on metal, peeling stone, tangled branches, worn surfaces. These elements ground the images and invite the viewer to slow down and really look. There’s a sense of calm and reflection I aim to preserve, even in moments filled with motion or energy.

At its core, my photography is about memory and connection. Many of these images capture fleeting moments that could easily be forgotten, childhood joy, quiet corners, places paused between past and present. I want my work to feel familiar yet personal, allowing viewers to find their own stories within the frame. If an image makes someone linger just a second longer or feel a quiet sense of recognition, then it has done its job.

Piddle Paddle Tours, Brand & Marketing Concept

This project explores a cohesive brand and marketing layout for Piddle Paddle Tours, a family-friendly coastal tour company. The goal was to create a welcoming, adventure-forward visual experience that highlights the excitement of marine exploration while remaining approachable and easy to navigate for a wide audience.

The design combines immersive photography with clean, readable typography to guide viewers through the experience, from initial discovery to booking. Large, scenic images are used to immediately establish mood and place, drawing attention to wildlife encounters, coastal landmarks, and the overall sense of adventure the tours provide.

The layout emphasizes clarity and flow, using strong hierarchy to separate key sections such as tour offerings, services, and calls to action. A neutral, airy background allows the imagery and brand colors to stand out without overwhelming the viewer, while consistent spacing and alignment create a polished, trustworthy feel.

This concept demonstrates my approach to visual storytelling, balancing aesthetics with usability, and designing with the end user in mind. The result is a cohesive, engaging promotional piece that could translate seamlessly across print and digital platforms.
