About

I am a portraiture, documentary photographer and storyteller, who is curious about the cosmos, communities, the creative arts, scientific endeavour and the complexities of climate change - all framed with a strong sense of place.

In addition to my photographic work, I have made a 5 part BBC Radio 4 series called Welcome to the Quiet Zone (listen on BBC Sounds) and co-produce the annual Ice Music Festival Norway.

Working with a range of clients from non-profit organisations through to commercial enterprise,  I'm available for commissions worldwide. So if you have a noteworthy story, editorial theme or subject that you would like to be photographed, it would be good to hear from you.
