Photographer based in Leeds, recently awarded a PhD in Fine Art at the University of Huddersfield in 2023.

Photography MA Lecturer at UCLAN (2024-2025).

My photographic practice concerns itself through the collective memory of places through the perspective of a psychogeographic framework of the Situationist International. Utilising this framework is contextualised through analogue and digital photographic equipment through landscape, portraiture and vernacular imagery to depict the palimpsest of surfaces and the social changes through these environments.
