Throughout this journey discoveringphotography, and realising that content creation was the field which truly sets the soul alight.
When not creating images, you’ll find me trying to eat and cook everything under the sun, singing in my car, meditating on hills, diving deep into the world of mixed martial arts and animal movement workouts, buried deep into books and graphic novels and doing as much random activities as possible to make the most of each moment in this life.
