The Field Journal
A great photograph is more than a captured moment; it’s the result of observation, planning, and creative decision-making. In this journal, I pull back the curtain on that entire process.

Here you’ll find deep-dives into macro photography, stories from my explorations in the Hertfordshire woodlands, and my personal reflections on learning to see the world differently. Whether you're here to master a new skill or simply find a little inspiration, I invite you to read on and join the conversation.
