Nothing but photos of our Earth.

No people.
No wildlife.
No cars.
No distractions.
Just Earth.

Raw, rugged, ancient and vast.

Photography often makes me feel like I am only scratching the surface of what is in front of me.
Not just in light or composition, but in time, scale, and presence.

The more I photograph the world, the more it seems to hold.

The more we look into space, the more Earth feels like part of something vast rather than separate from it.

And whatever conclusions we draw from that, I think many of us arrive at a similar feeling when faced with places like these.

Wonder.
Humility.
Perspective.

That this is bigger than us.
And that it is beautiful.

Join me in Madeira // 2–7 November 2026

Madeira is a place that invites you to slow down. To respond to light, weather, and moments as they unfold.

This is a six day photographic trip hosted by me with Inspired Ventures, designed for a small group of photographers who want to shoot, grow, share, and enjoy the process. 

This trip is an opportunity to spend meaningful time photographing alongside others who share the same passion for the craft. To be out in the world together, responding to light, landscape, and moments as they unfold, in a place that lends itself beautifully to that way of working.

Early November is quieter and ideal for exploring the island as conditions change, with space to chase light and also appreciate the in-between moments.

The first place has already been booked via my broadcast channel. A minimum of six people is required for the trip to go ahead, and places are limited.

Full details via the link in my bio.

Once the group is confirmed, I’ll set up a shared group chat so we can start connecting ahead of the trip. I’ll also host a couple of relaxed online calls in the lead-up, giving us space to talk through ideas, answer questions, and share thoughts around photography, approach, and preparation. Think of it as a way to arrive in Madeira already feeling familiar, aligned, and ready to make the most of our time there.

Make photos. Make moments. Make memories. MADEIRA Nov 2nd - 7th 2026.

Warmer evenings, slower light, coffee outside, familiar roads becoming little adventures. The same coastline, the same lanes, the same places I’ve walked a hundred times, but somehow the change of season makes it all feel new again.
More time outside. More reasons to roam. More of those small, ordinary moments that remind me why I love living here.
And if you ever find yourself in this corner of Wales, don’t hesitate to drop me a line. Coffee, cameras and a wander along the coast sounds pretty good to me.

London, as I see it.

I’m heading into London tomorrow for something I’m looking forward to, so it felt right to share a collection from previous walks through the city.

I don’t spend a huge amount of time in London. I’m Welsh, grew up in Wales, and these days I’m very much at home in Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, usually happiest somewhere between the coast, the woods and the hills.
And when I do leave, it’s often further afield. Potentially somewhere very exciting and new to me soon too.

But the photographer in me does love a city. The older the better, really.

London gives you so much to look at. Old buildings beside new ones. People moving through light. Small details inside huge scenes. Reflections, shadows, colour, scale and little moments that appear and disappear before you’ve fully understood them.

There is so much to frame, and sometimes that means reaching for whatever camera is closest, even if it’s just the phone in your pocket. The Underground frame in this set was one of those.

It’s a very different kind of walking to the one I’m used to, but I often come away with the same feeling.
There is always another photograph somewhere.

I’ve shared a lot from the outdoors lately. Big landscapes, changing weather, open space, probably still with Iceland sitting somewhere in my head.

But really, my interest is photography first. The places it takes me, and the way it changes depending on where I am.

Sometimes that’s a mountain or a coastline. Sometimes it’s an old city full of colour, history, texture, tiled walls, passing people and small moments that ask you to slow down.

Lisbon is one of those places I keep returning to through my archives. Every time I do, I feel the pull to go back.

There’s always that balance with travel. New places calling, old places asking for another look, and never quite enough time for all of it.

One image today.
I love collections. I love curation, sequencing, storytelling, and the way photographs can start to carry each other when placed together.

But I also think there is value in occasionally letting one piece of work stand without asking it to become something else.

There is a way of sharing now that can make everything feel like it needs a new angle, a new format, a new reason, a new version.

But sometimes the creative choice is simply to trust the thing you made.

This is an older creation of mine, somewhere between a photograph and a fantasy place! I am increasingly keen to return here.

“What camera do you use?”

A question photographers are very used to seeing under photographs that took far more than a camera to make.
But it is still a fair question, so here’s a longer answer.

I’ve spent the last three years using this camera as my main working camera.
With Sony confirming that a new R series camera is coming soon, it felt like a good time to look back at the one that has been in my hands for so much of the work I’ve made recently.

This set isn’t built around one subject, place, lens or idea. It’s a collection of photographs made across travel, landscapes, coastlines, cities, portraits, wildlife, commercial work and everyday walks.

People, places, things, really.

Across the 23 photographs in this set, I’ve included the camera, lens and settings used on each image.

I get asked quite often why I shoot Sony. Sometimes people assume I use other systems, probably because the kind of photography I lean towards sits in a warmer, softer, slightly more nostalgic space than people sometimes associate with Sony cameras.

Sony cameras are rightly known for performance, autofocus, resolution, dynamic range, compact bodies and compact lenses.

But that’s never been the whole story for me.

They’re not only cameras for people who care about specifications. They’re also cameras for people who care about feeling, colour, restraint, timing and intention.

For me, the strength of the system is that it gives me a very capable starting point, then gets out of the way. The files don’t pull me too hard in one fixed direction. I can take them where I want them to go.

So while I’m interested to see what Sony does next with the R line, I wanted to give this camera its moment as the conversation around the R line opens up again.
Not because the camera made the photographs, but because it has quietly helped me make a lot of them.

People, places, things.

No fixed formula, just the subjects I keep returning to without always knowing why.

Sometimes they overlap.
Sometimes one is enough.

It has become the foundation of how I see, and now the title of my first photo book, currently sitting at 170 orders, which still feels slightly unreal to write.

The book should be shipping next month, and I’m so excited for it to finally make its way to those who ordered it.

Also, I recently found another red phone box that could compete with this one for a new favourite, once I catch it in the right light.

People Places Things.

Another lap around the sun.

Not something I think about too much, if I’m honest.
But it does make me notice one thing.

How much of what we experience is shaped by light.

Everything we see, every place we remember, every moment that sticks, it all comes down to what the light is doing at that time. Without it, there’s nothing to hold onto. With it, even the most ordinary scene can feel like something. Occasionally, something spectacular.

That’s what I keep coming back to with photography.

Not just the places, but how they’re revealed.
How the same landscape can feel completely different from one hour to the next. How light can simplify something, give it weight, or strip it back to almost nothing.

These are just moments where that felt right.

Times where the light did what it always does, but for a second, felt worth paying attention to.

And maybe that’s another thing photography has become for me. The art of paying attention. Sometimes even without the camera.

I don’t really keep track of time.

But I do notice the light.

Iceland gave me every reason to throw myself at it.

Not just in the larger, more obvious ways, though it gave me plenty of those too, but in the details, the shifts in weather, the smaller interruptions, the in between moments, and the constant feeling that the more attention I gave it, the more it gave back.

That is probably what stayed with me most from these eight days. Not one single view or one single type of photograph, but the range of what was there to respond to if I stayed open to it. The spectacular, yes, but also the smaller things. The passing things. The shapes, textures, people, animals, structures, and scenes that might be overlooked if you only go looking for what is already familiar.

Some of these photographs have lived in other edits already. That does not bother me. Photography is not a stack of credits to be used once and spent. If a photograph still says something, I am happy to return to it. And this set feels closest to the fuller visual statement the trip left with me.

More than anything, Iceland made me want to keep doing what I love at an even deeper level. To go to new places, work in new conditions, pay harder attention, and keep making photographs that feel like my own way of seeing rather than just proof that I was there.

Just a few thoughts, really, about photographs, photo-making, and the part of all this that still matters most to me: going somewhere, paying proper attention, and trying to respond well to what you get presented with when you are there.

Just photographs of our neighbours.

It felt natural to move a little closer.

To people.
To some of the lives that unfold around us every day, whether near to us or far away.

Different places.
Different backgrounds.
Different ways of living.
Different distances between one life and another.

And yet, in the end, we all share space.

I think that is part of why photographing people matters to me as much as it does.
Not because I have all the answers with it, but because it asks something different of you.
A little more care.
A little more awareness.
A little more honesty.

It is a delicate thing, photographing people.
You are not just working with light, shape, or timing, but with presence.
With someone’s life briefly crossing your own.
And with the responsibility of trying to make something that feels observed, not taken.

The older I get, the more I find myself thinking that so many of the lines between us are drawn by people anyway.
Borders.
Differences.
Ideas of distance.
Ways of separating one another.

But underneath all of that, there is still this:
people living, moving, working, resting, laughing, waiting, carrying things, thinking things, feeling things.
Trying to make their way around our EARTH, just like the rest of us.

Maybe that is one of the reasons I keep coming back to photographing people.
Because done well, it can remind us of something easy to lose sight of.
That however near or far someone may seem from our own life, they are still our neighbour in the bigger picture.

And I think there is something good in remembering that.
