Welcome to
Salt + Land
Living in Devon I feel more grateful than ever to be able to escape to the wilds of Dartmoor or the blustery North Cornish coast. I have always been drawn to the sea and the great outdoors. Cliched but true. My work both as a photographer and contemporary artist is centred around this.
For the past two decades, I have worked in the creative industries. The early part of my career was spent in broadcast TV production. During this time I produced and directed series mainly for the BBC & Channel 4, but also for HGTV in the US. Then came parenthood and a big old life change. I returned home to Devon and made a life on beautiful Dartmoor.
I had a dream to raise my family and open a small photography studio in the cathedral city of Exeter. Within a few years I found myself busier than I could have imagined. The studio went from strength to strength and before I knew it my work was widely published, both as an award winning wedding and commercial photographer.
With this came the opportunity to travel for commissions and my early cloud and sea studies were centred around the glorious Caribbean & Balearic Islands, places where the tropical storms roll in across the aqua seas. To relax and find some quiet downtime between commissions and shoots I returned to my love of painting.
The pandemic restrictions halted much of my commercial work and travel for a couple of years and I found myself more drawn to the wilds than ever before. I opened my eyes wide to the beauty right here on our doorstep. Scenery & skies that I had taken so readily for granted, are now the subject of my work and I am delighted to share it with you.

My works are held in both corporate and private collections and I really hope to create something beautiful for you.
