About

Welcome to this hilltop in the remote and rugged Cévennes.

Here I am are lucky enough to enjoy an outlook of huge skies and never-ending hills. The light dances to a different tune every day and  invariably I find myself compelled to reach for my pen and my camera to hold onto the moment.

Photography has always been a passion, and my camera a trusted companion throughout my travels over the last thirty years. It allows me to quietly observe, connecting me with earth, sky, water, and the ever-shifting seasons. I am drawn to multiple exposure and intentional camera movement (ICM), finding in these techniques the freedom to respond to nature’s many layers and textures

Life here is still dictated by seasonal shifts. It is reminiscent of the landscapes of Kenya that I fell in love with during the years I worked and lived there on safari. But it has also offered up its own unique identity and opportunity for adventure.  It is a place that has encouraged me to find forgotten paths, to explore, to discover and to realise the meaning of home. I hope you enjoy.
