Who I am

Based in Europe, working between remote landscapes worldwide.

Fern & Flare is a quiet exploration of belonging.

I move through landscapes not as a collector of moments, but as a listener.
What draws me into the natural world is not spectacle, but presence — the sense that everything visible is part of a much larger, breathing whole.

In wild places, I feel what is often lost elsewhere:
that we are not separate from the world around us, but composed of the same matter, shaped by the same forces, moving through the same cycles of becoming and return. What lives in stone, water, forest and animal life also lives in us.

My photography grows from this understanding.
Animals are not subjects to me — they are expressions of the same life that forms forests, rivers, mountains and our own bodies. Nothing stands alone. Nothing is merely background.

Time is always present in my work.
The awareness that we are here only briefly, while the land carries the memory of ages. I am drawn to this contrast: the vastness of deep time, and the fragile intensity of a single, fleeting moment of presence.

I am not interested in speed, drama or constant stimulation.
What guides me is restraint, attention and care. In a world that has become loud and abstract, I seek what is quieter, older, and more enduring.

My images are created for the land they emerge from —
and offered to others only in the hope that seeing can become a form of connection, and connection a form of care. To feel the beauty of life is, for me, the first step toward protecting it.

Fern & Flare holds this meaning:
to move outward into the world, guided by light — and to return with traces of what was felt.
