    There’s a common question I get asked: what exactly do you do?

    The honest answer is… a few things. I’m a documentary photographer. I host and produce podcasts. I write.

    But the real answer is that I bring these together to tell fuller, more human stories.

    Because one medium on its own can only go so far.

    – A photograph can stop you in your tracks.
    – A conversation can reveal what sits beneath the surface.
    – Well-crafted words can give context, clarity, and lasting meaning.

    When these come together, something more powerful happens, stories that feel authentic, layered, and genuinely reflective of the people and communities at their heart.

    Much of my work has been alongside charities, community organisations, and purpose-driven projects. The aim is always the same: to represent people honestly, with care and respect, and to create media that doesn’t just look good, but actually connects.

    That might mean documenting a project over time, producing a podcast that gives people a voice, or creating written pieces that help audiences understand why the work matters.

    I’m particularly interested in collaborations where there’s a story worth telling, especially those rooted in community, culture, or positive change.

    If you’re part of an organisation, business, or project and you think there might be something we could create together, I’d genuinely love to hear from you. No hard sell. Just a conversation to see what’s possible.

  • ‘Painting Through The Dark Month’

    I met up with artist Rob Pointon in Newcastle-under-Lyme town centre as he battled the elements to continue his series for the Brampton Museum and Art Gallery, entitled ‘Painting Through The Dark Month’.

    Local artist Rob Pointon will be attempting the challenge of completing an oil painting a day throughout the month of January. Rob paints outdoors in all weathers, temperatures, day or night. As soon as the painting is completed we will hang it and gradually populate this exhibition.

    We enjoyed a chat about the town’s palette and his notable style of painting with an exaggerated perspective.

    Also good to be reminded we’re both alumni of the University of Wales, lol.
