Through narrow cracks in the Earth’s surface soft ambient light percolates. Slowly it reveals a mysterious dark underground passage of twisted and tortuous shapes illuminated in a surreal blend of tints and tones that evokes a sense of elation.

In this current digital age, we are constantly being bombarded with visual stimuli that try and grab our attention for just a few seconds. Overloaded with imagery there is too many distractions to really take time to look and see what is important. I believe careful observation is a really valuable skill that I have learned whilst being trained as a scientist.
Through my photography I want to challenge people to step out of their daily routine to explore and appreciate the simple beauty that is around us everywhere; A beauty that only reveals itself if you take time to really observe and look out for it; be it created by man in the city or created by nature in the countryside; stripped of all unnecessary distractions; just the elements that matter to capture that magic moment; frozen in time and space to restore a moment of peace and calm in an otherwise turbulent world.
