As a photographer I really find it useful to see my own work daily, as a way of reminding me what I can do better or what I do well – some might call this narcissistic but for me it makes me proud of what I create. I also like seeing my shots as iphone...
Being an Underwater Photographer I’ve always been drawn to creating dreamscapes below the surface, it’s just part of the allure for me, and trying to build a whole room underwater was one of the goals I’d set myself quite a while ago Having been a primarily travelling photographer meant that I didn’t have a proper...
Update: Featured on National Geographic! Last year I was contacted by Christine Ren Films so help her create some confronting images about ocean conservation. One of these concepts was Jellyfish Soup, that’s I’ve blogged about previously, but the latest one to be released is Blind Spots – Highlighting Our Apathy to Plastic. Read more about...
As an Underwater Photographer based in Los Angeles I’m obsessed with the ocean, so when Christine from Christine Ren Films contacted me about her Ocean Conservancy project I jumped at the chance. It was such a cool project, and important, as it hoped to highlight the dangers of overfishing our oceans – possibly resulting in...

2015 was an amazing year for me: a mixed bag of client work, personal projects, and loads of travel. I spent a lot of time underwater this year as well, which has been great with that side of my business expanding and we keep pushing the envelope on what we shoot down there. Huge thanks...
At the end of last year I had the pleasure of working with the talented Nicole Andrews on the artwork for her forthcoming album In The Shallows. Nicole had seen my underwater work and really wanted to incorporate that in the artwork somehow. After some discussion we came up with the ideas you see in...
