A photograph is more than the image on the page. It is an embodiment of the research, the time taken revisiting a place, the physical demands of getting to the right spot, a patient wait for the light or the tide or the clouds, the processing post-capture. Each of my photos is an experience, a feeling, a moment in my life. This photo, one of several, was taken where the land meets the sea, where it is possible to find peace and commune with nature.

As a scientist, I've spent many years scratching the left side of my brain. My right brain is pretty chilled, but twenty years of being ignored was bound to create issues. With a love of the outdoors and an undeniable urge to suddenly find a creative outlet, I combined my love of the outdoors with a borrowed camera. Inspired initially by Peter Eastway, and then Peter Hewitt, Michael Kenna, Adam Burton, Julia Fuchs and Rachel Talibart amongst others, I've moved from happy snapper to obsessed photographer. Light and form, time and texture drive me. I want to take photos that transport me when I look at them: recognisable but somehow ethereal. I feel a great stillness behind the camera, the same stillness I feel when I am out in the wilderness, and I am constantly striving to recreate that feeling with each frame I take. I hope you like what you see.
