Les trois Mousquetaires
Creative Coach | Graphic Designer | Film Photographer
With a lifelong passion for photography and being the middle of three generations of film photographers, I always feel extremely proud that photography and creativity are firmly embedded in my DNA. My upbringing in film, piles of negatives, a red box brownie camera and the smell of the darkroom are responsible for my deep, continued interest in shooting film and traditional printing and exploring historic processes. Time in the darkroom is hugely important to me. I call it my Zen Den. Here is where my best ideas are formed for my work as a Graphic Designer. I work with my beloved Medium and Large Format cameras.
I was born a creative soul and to my fuel vision, quality time spent at the Manchester School of Art and University of Gloucestershire studying the three disciplines of Art, Design and Photography, culminating with an honours degree in Graphic Design and an MA in Fine Art Photography and papers written on Colour Psychology – all of which continue to feed and directly influence my work today as a full time Graphic Designer, Creative Coach and Film Photographer. Along the way, I gained a PGCE in Art and Design. The creative thread that ties my disciplines together is Bringing Nature Home. I’m here to help.
My work and teaching philosophies are influenced by Japanese Aesthetics and this has produced my signature aesthetic - intentional, minimal, quiet..
