I returned to photography after a long pause. Working in a technical field, I gradually became aware of the absence of a creative practice and of the need for a slower, more observant way of engaging with the world. Photography became that space.

My work focuses primarily on botanical subjects. This interest emerged through gardening and the experience of living closely with plants through the changing seasons. Observing flowers over time shifted my attention away from their appearance and toward their character: the bend of a stem, an irregular petal, a fleeting gesture of strength or vulnerability.

I often photograph flowers against dark or minimal backgrounds. Rather than removing context, this approach allows the subject to emerge more fully, inviting closer attention to form, posture and subtle imperfections. While symmetry can be beautiful, I am often drawn to irregularities and moments of transition, where the subject feels most expressive and alive.

My process is deliberate and iterative. Images are refined through repeated adjustments of composition and light until a sense of balance is achieved. Printing forms an essential part of the practice. Each work is produced as an archival pigment print on fine art cotton paper and the print itself is regarded as the final form of the image.

Through this work, I hope to create photographs that invite sustained looking. Rather than dominating a space, the images are intended to exist quietly within it, offering moments of stillness, reflection and continued discovery over time.
