Capturing the soul of surf culture — raw, real, and always in motion.

Surf lifestyle and travel photography is where my heart truly lives — out on the road or in the sea, camera in hand, chasing light, waves, and the feeling of freedom. As a Cornish photographer rooted in the rhythms of the coast, my surf lifestyle photography captures more than just action — it’s about connection, culture, and the salt-soaked stories that come with life near the ocean.

My approach to travel photography and lifestyle work is grounded in authenticity. It’s not about staged shots or curated feeds — it’s about the raw, real moments in between. The early morning surf checks. The van-life days chasing swell. The quiet, golden hour conversations in faraway places. Every image is a reflection of how it felt to be there — immersed, present, alive.

Whether I’m shooting on the shores of Cornwall or exploring new coastlines around the world, I’m always drawn to the natural beauty of surf culture and travel life. These moments — spontaneous, sunlit, shaped by land and sea — are what inspire me to create.

Being a lifestyle and travel photographer isn’t just something I do — it’s how I see the world. Through the lens of movement, mood, and meaningful connection

Lifestyle Photography – The People Behind the Waves

My lifestyle photography is all about capturing the mood and spirit of coastal life — honest, imperfect, and sun-bleached. I’ve worked with local makers, brands, surfers, and small businesses to create natural, storytelling imagery that feels human and rooted in the environment.

Cornwall is full of quiet magic, and I love showing it through a lens that’s both personal and professional.

Beyond the waves, I also focus on the stories of the people who live the surf lifestyle — the early risers, the van dwellers, the shapers, the dreamers, the salty-haired kids running barefoot across the dunes.
