Documenting a creative life in process
For those who feel a bit lost, and yet weirdly capable at the same time.
I'm a photographer and filmmaker and I make YouTube videos about just that, helping creative people close the gap between the life they are living and the one they imagine...
life in progress
My real creative life. The highs, the lows, the uncertainty. We all go through it, so why not share it.
no bold claims
Everything has been built through failure and mistakes. I don't know everything or have it all worked out
a shared struggle
There's no problem with knowledge, or ability. It's a problem with friction. Stuff gets in the way, and I'm not alone here
photography is life
It's how I see and make sense of the world. It's a way of paying attention, a way of finding fulfilment and happiness.
The Creative Reset
Workbook
Most photographers don't have a talent problem... they have a friction problem. Something is making them feel stuck, but they don't really know what.
The workbook is where you start to uncover what that is, and what to do about it. 400+ downloads. 20 minutes. Free

Why people work with me
'I don't think people come to me because I've got everything figured out...'
They come to me because I've been through all the sh*t that life throws at you and I'm still chasing my dream on the other side. I lost both parents before I'd hit my mid twenties, I dropped out of University twice. I ground my way through life until an ADHD diagnosis at the age of 43 began to make sense of things.
I had the love of photography (the only thing that kept me going at times) ground out of me in a windowless studio and 7 years ago walked out to build something that finally felt like my own.
Where I am now didn't come from shortcuts, or luck. It came from doing the work, making mistakes, maintaining belief and building systems that support my creative life rather than drain it. This is something I believe everyone has the power to do.
