About
Looking before capturing
A closer look, a deeper connection
For most of my professional life, I have worked as a radiologist — a profession built around careful observation. Photography grew from the same instinct: to look closely, recognise patterns and notice what might otherwise go unseen.
That attention moves naturally from medicine into the landscape: from the structure of an unfolding fern to the bond between an elephant and her calf, or the last light settling over a mountain.
My work has received recognition in international photography awards and publications. I value that recognition quietly; the photograph itself, and the connection it creates with the natural world, remains what matters most.
The Beginning of a Form
An unfolding fern draws my eye to the structure and detail that fascinate me in both medicine and nature.
Side by Side
A mother elephant and her calf stand close together—a tender glimpse of the lives we share this planet with.
Last Sunlight over the Mountains
The last sunlight of the day settles over the mountains and the quiet plain below—the day closing the way it began, with light.
