Photos
I’ve been taking photos of my travels and experiences since the early 00’s. During a trip around South America in 2008 I took thousands of photos. A passion took hold.
Photography became an integral part of my life as I collected images over a decade for my travel company in Colombia. My beloved (and battered) Canon T5i (700D) has taken most of the images on this site. I will be continuously updating this page as I trawl through tens of thousands of un-edited photos in my archives.
I love trying to capture the beauty and light of the world. Here are some of my favourites. Enjoy!
