    Photography for me has been something I've been interested in many years, it was only during the covid-19 pandemic that allowed me to pursue it as a hobby. To pass the time I studied with the Photography institute doing an online course. This gave me the skills and knowledge to expand.

    Since then I have ventured into different genres such as Landscape, wildlife, portraits and most recently setting up a successful Pet Photography Business. Through dedication and passion for learning I have met many photographers who have shared and helped shape my own journey. This has enabled me to produce award winning images in the landscapes, wildlife and Pets.

    I was in the park with my 8yr old daughter at around 10am. We are having some challenges in life as a family. I was walking along in my own worries when I came across this beautiful Dandelion standing alone in its niche. It was a windy cloudy day and there it was facing turmoil in wind but standing steadfast, unfaltered, refusing to be blown away. In that moment it reminded me to remain resilient in life and to be the support my child needs to face her challenges but also to teach her to devel

    I was attracted by the neon pink handrails on the stairs, that provide an alternative way up to the platform from street level, and took a few images around the base and on the stairs, before photographing the stark rectangular lift doors. It was a lucky encounter with the woman and her umbrella using the stairs. A little colour grading in Lightroom to cool the shadows and a 16 x 9 crop made it look more cinematic.
