I’m absolutely loving having space to share more of my story and connect through the lens of photography, curiosity and lived experience.

If you’re thinking of coming along, here’s what I’ll be involved in on Sunday 21st September – I’d love to see some familiar faces there. Don’t forget to book your tickets here.

I’ll be speaking alongside incredible female creatives from across genres as we reflect on our paths and the stories we’re here to tell. First come, first served on the day – book here.
2PM – Curiosity as a Compass: Neurodivergence and the Art of Seeing
The Conduit – Sun 21st Sept 2025
I’ll be speaking at Fujikina and sharing how AuDHD (autism and ADHD) (read more here) unlocks a unique way of seeing the world. Exploring neurodivergence, liminality and life at the wild edge, I’ll reveals how special interests, hyperfocus, sensory depth and a sixth-sense connection to light can become portals to profound storytelling. A powerful reflection on being a neurodivergent woman in photography, and the creative liberation that comes from being seen and what it means to shoot from a place of deep authenticity. General Admissions tickets – first come, first served! Book here!
7-8.30PM – Women in Photography: Networking Event
Fujifilm House of Photography – Sun 21st Sept 2025
End the day with a glass in hand and good conversation flowing. This relaxed evening gathering is the perfect way to connect with other women in photography. You’ll need to book in advance for this one.
Why this matters
As someone who’s been creating with Fujifilm kit (more on that here), speaking at FUJIKINA is a huge honour. It’s not just a platform to share work, it’s a place to spark curiosity, foster connection and open new ways of seeing.
I’m especially excited to speak about neurodivergence and creativity, a topic that still feels underrepresented in our industry. For me, curiosity really is the compass. It leads me to the wild edges, the liminal spaces, the stories that ask to be felt before they’re understood.
Whether you come for the kit, the talks or the community, FUJIKINA is your invitation to dive deeper into your creative world.
Book your ticket now and I’ll see you in London.

About me
Hey my love, I’m Rebecca. A visual storyteller, unleashing the power of photo and video to rewilding our connection to nature. I am also an AuDHD – an autistic ADHDer.
By illuminating the liminal space where myth, magick and intellect meet, we ignite collective curiosity, enchantment and awe to empower the healing of people and planet.
My work as a photographer and ocean storyteller has taken me from the wild coasts of Scotland to the wild edges of Iceland.
It was with immense gratitude and a sense of deepening purpose that a story I captured gain 2nd Place in the Conservation (Impact) category for Ocean Photographer of the Year 2024.
As President of the Board of Trustees for Whale Wise and a Marine Mammal Medic with BDMLR, I advocate for our blue planet through powerful visuals and purpose-driven narratives.
Together, let’s embrace the wild edges where of people, place, and planet meet.
