Cameraless and experimental analogue fine art photography
I am a visually impaired photographer, specialising in instant fine art photography and alternative cameraless processes. With a background in environmental education, I use my intuition with nature and love of experimentation to interpret, express and showcase the beauty that I experience in my altered visual world. In 2024 I was awarded a Develop Your Creative Practice grant from Arts Council England and studied at the School of Light in Los Angeles. There, I developed techniques to reveal the patterns, textures and shapes of elemental nature which are all around us, but that we rarely pay time or attention or to. Through this new work, a fascination with the fine line between art and science developed, and I dove into exploring our connection with – and disconnect from – the natural world and its rhythms. Ultimately, it is my on-going mission to explore our kinship with Nature, and to give others the opportunity to immerse themselves in the whimsy and wonder of the world. It is my hope that viewers might see parts of themselves reflected in my unique photographic work, gleaning new hope, personal resilience, or a sense of belonging in the world, as well as ownership to better protect the precious microcosms around us.
