About

Hello! Welcome to my website. This is where I gather my favourite photographs in one place - for myself, for friends, for fellow photography enthusiasts and for anybody who stumbles across this website just by chance. You’re very welcome and I hope you enjoy my galleries.

Unfiltered Moon reflects my life, its people and its places. It also reflects my meandering, stop-start photography journey, which began over a decade ago with Instagram (which back then was mainly a community of photographers curating themed spaces and critiquing each other’s work), My real turning point was joining Emma Davies’ brilliant online course, A Year With My Camera in 2018, and I’m now a member of Emma’s ever-growing Photography School Camera Club, which continues to be a source of joy, challenge, inspiration and friendship. I also take part in 52Frames, an international online community whose members respond to weekly prompts, critique each other and collaborate more closely in smaller groups, and locally I’m a member of Canterbury Photography Club. I’m also a member of the RPS.

If you’re interested in developing your photography skills or meeting and collaborating with peers, I recommend these groups and others like them - I’ve found some amazing friends across the world, I’ve learned more than I ever imagined I could, I’ve grown in confidence, been encouraged to experiment - and I’ve even sold some photographs and had a few commissions! Best of all, I continue to learn every day - and there’s a long way to go!
