Environmental & Cultural Education Programs

I often document environmental and cultural education programs that bring people closer to heritage, history, and nature. For me, the camera isn’t just a tool to record what happens, it’s a way to translate experiences into images that carry meaning beyond the moment. My role is to help organisations and institutions inspire more people to take part, to make these encounters visible and memorable. Because in the end, this is how people stay informed, and just as importantly, how they are moved to care for and protect what surrounds them.

These programs usually unfold in remarkable settings, museums, archaeological sites, protected nature reserves, places where human stories and natural beauty meet.
I’ve always been drawn to that intersection: the exchange of imagination, knowledge, and memory between people and place.

It’s something you can’t always put into words, but it’s there, in the way children lean in to listen to a story about the past, in the pause of a visitor gazing at a rare bird, in the light falling across ancient stones.

My approach is to slow down and notice those details, the backdrop, the motion, the fleeting connections and to distil them into photographs that hold both clarity and feeling. Whether it’s the silence of a hike in the forest, the living history of a village, or the energy of a group discovering nature and its creatures for the first time, I work to preserve the sense of wonder at the heart of these experiences.

“I’m not there to just take pictures of an event, I’m there to translate the experience and the place into visuals that can be used for change.”
