My practice is an exploration of the limits of both analogue and digital photographic processes. I have an ever-growing camera collection and when I am not using my DSLR, I use a variety of new and expired films.

My passion for photography often contradicts itself, from sharp focus to blurry abstraction: I am always looking for new ways to capture light, movement, colour and shape. Though my work is based on experimentation, I often incorporate themes of identity, femininity, environmental awareness and conservation in my work.
