The Artist
Creating audio-visual work through spontaneity, flow, improvisation, and the act of noticing
Photography
My photography reveals moments where every day life becomes extraordinary. My work was published in The Event (2026) by Burn Books. A decade-long project about my home city will culminate in a self-published monograph, planned for 2027.
Music
I release and perform instrumental music, improvising with acoustic instruments, electronic sounds and field recordings. My music features on NTS Radio.

The Storyteller
Creating visual stories for brands and people whose work I believe in
Neve
I work as Fractional Chief Storyteller for Neve, the audio brand behind equipment used in some of the world's most iconic recording studios, including Abbey Road.
Studio
Since 2014, my film and photography studio has produced work for brands including Volvo, Speedo, Jaguar Land Rover and Skiddle. My personal documentaries have featured on the BBC and Kendal Mountain Player.
The Collaborator
Bringing creativity, business and people together to create new possibilities
Conscious Soup
I co-founded the Conscious Soup Living Experiment with Sam Smith. We put living experiments into the world to challenge the invisible rules that shape how we live.
Coaching 
I work with people at the intersection of creativity and business, helping them find new perspectives and create new possibilities for their work and lives.
The Human
Beyond the work, just a curious human being
Biography
Born in Lancashire in 1988, I've lived and worked here my entire life. For a long time, all I wanted was to play professional rugby. I represented England in the Junior World Cup and joined a Premiership club in 2006. 
When injury forced me to retire, I turned towards music, completing a degree in music production before starting a film and photography business. Since then, my life has been an ongoing experiment in following my curiosity, exploring different disciplines and following nudges from the universe.
