Influenced by my late grandfather’s 1930s photography, I like to explore an inherited love of nature and the unknown magic that is the world of taking analogue photographs; capturing light, time, space and emotion with my vintage Leica cameras.
After my grandfather’s death in WW2, my grandmother buried his Leica camera in April 1945, for safekeeping from the occupying Americans. She unearthed it in November 1945 and used it until the 1970s. I inherited it in 2019.
On my wanderings through nature, a Leica is my constant companion, photographing landscapes in a timeless connection between past and present.
