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 even though I’ve now moved to Somerset, I’m happy to still be a member of Canterbury Photography Club.

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!
