A single image can replace an ocean of words, leaving an indelible mark on our soul. For me, that moment came at Noss Island, when I photographed a northern gannet entangled in ghost fishing rope. I had witnessed entanglement before, but nothing prepared me for the powerlessness of that day. The swell was up, the…
Drones have transformed the way we tell conservation stories. From revealing inaccessible landscapes to offering new perspectives on wildlife behaviour, they open up opportunities for conservation photography that were unimaginable a decade ago. But with this power comes responsibility. Responsible drone flying in sensitive habitats requires more than technical skill — it demands an ethical…
Ghost Fluke began on the wild edges of Snæfellsnes. Walking along the black sand beaches and scouring the volcanic coves, I collected fragments of ghost gear tangled in the tide line. Ropes frayed by salt and storms. Nets caught in basalt cliffs. Plastic debris stranded in moss and driftwood. Each piece carried its own story,…
Jellyfish are some of the most mesmerising creatures in our waters. These abundant, ghostlike and quietly powerful beings, they are ancient drifters moving with a rhythm that seems both timeless and urgent. While some days at sea pass without sight of one, other days bring pulses of jellies dancing in the light, their presence revealing…
The roots of this story sit long before I started exploring ocean photography with Fujifilm ever entered my world. They begin in Ramsgate, the coastline that raised me, where long summers were spent chasing waves and sunsets and my first job at thirteen was developing 35mm film in a newsagent darkroom. Every roll of film…
World Ocean Day is a call to remember our belonging. A moment to honour the blue spaces that sustain all life on earth. It’s not a single day of awareness. It’s an invitation to act, create, connect and protect. In rhythm with the tides that shape us. This year, I mark World Ocean Day with…
There’s something quietly revolutionary about planting beneath the sea. Recently, I visited Loch Craignish on the west coast of Scotland, a place I’ve long felt pulled to. Tucked into its tidal folds is one of the most inspiring examples of ocean restoration in the UK: flourishing seagrass meadows and the resurgence of native oysters, both…
My journey as an ocean storyteller and photographer hasn’t been fast or linear. It has been shaped by years of curiosity, learning and connection, threaded through with salt water, light and a drive to understand the spaces between people, place and planet. This post explores the story behind how this work began, how it’s evolved…
In the wild, untamed waters off Iceland’s coast, nature’s raw beauty and vulnerability collided in a heart-stopping drama that unfolded before our eyes. As a visual storyteller dedicated to illuminating nature’s messages, I found myself thrust into a whale rescue story more urgent and real than any I could have imagined. This is the story…

Each of these represents a celebration…
