About
I am a wildlife tour guide and photographer based out of Indonesia Lombok. I am originally from Devon, England, growing up on a working farm my fascination with animals came from an early age. That curiosity eventually grew into a passion for diving and underwater photography. Over the years, I’ve travelled to some of the world’s most remarkable marine environments, spending extended periods of time on the reefs of Indonesia and Mexico to the cold waters of Norway and Australia, documenting the wildlife and environments.
Backstory
I am completely and utterly in love with the sea. After finishing school I took a trip to Indonesia where I completed my divemaster. My scuba diving adventure had begun and, looking back, it’s one of the best things I have ever done! In Indoneisa I experienced some of the best diving in the world and it was a life-affirming time which radically changed my outlook and path. I had found my calling and had never felt happier. Over the next five years I lived and worked as a divemaster and Photographer in Indonesia(Lombok and Bali), Australia and Mexico.
Diving
I believe diving is much more close to meditation than a sport. Being underwater is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in a different world and get close to some fantastic wildlife. Submerged is when I feel most at ease, filled with immense calm, and wonder at the life below. It’s a hard feeling to convey in words, and taking up photography was a way of transmitting the beauty of the marine world where words failed.
Diving has become much more than a way for me to explore the ocean it is the foundation of my work as an underwater photographer. What started as a fascination with the underwater world developed into a way of life.
