As a theatrical, dance and empowerment photographer, I am interested in driving social change through work that promotes mental health, equality and gender issues.  Belief in the power of the image is central to my current PhD research at Arts University Bournemouth.  This aims to work collaboratively with teen girls to explore inspiring 'Herstory' narratives.  

As well as my personal and commercial practice,  I support The Shine Project to empower and support teenage lives, delivering wellbeing courses in secondary schools several times a year.

My multi award-winning personal project "Asking For It" raises awareness about victim blaming and consent in cases of sexual violence and domestic abuse.  It currently has an online, interactive jury experience at www.askingforit.net where people can see and cast judgement on the historical mugshot series. This work continues to exhibit across a variety of venues  as part of an ongoing social change/research initiative. 

My project 'Boys will be Boys', was exhibited at Lighthouse Poole in October 2021 and was awarded ‘Official Selection’ in the IPA 2022.  As part of this work supporting males in ballet, I co-sponsored a scholarship for a male dancer in 2022.  I also exhibited a subsequent series entitled, Front page, which was recently awarded an Honorable Mention in the 20th Julia Margaret Cameron Awards. I continue to be an official patron/photographer of National Boys Dance Day - 23rd October.  

My series ‘Homefront’ reflects on women's lives, as impacted by the pandemic and in comparison with women in post-war Britain.  Women's roles in history and how visual narratives can impact/inspire others, is central to my Phd research, as well as my commercial collaborations.  Much of my work adopts a participant action research (PAR) approach, looking to enrich the lives of those through practice. 

As an empowerment activist, I actively support women's rights and promoting equality and body positivity.  This includes being the official UK photographer for THE REAL CATWALK and supporting the 'REAL body" movement, which celebrates and increases visibility of people of all ages, gender, ability size, shape & sexuality.  

I am the co-founder of the Foxstrut.org movement alongside artist, Lorna Rees and part of the CRUX Photography Research Network, as well as being a member of the Association of Photographers (AOP) and F22 group of female photographers.
