Photography has been my personal path through adversity, helping me overcome anxiety and depression, and has opened the door to a fulfilling new career.
In challenging times like the pandemic and the cost of living crisis, the landscape for a specialist photographer has changed dramatically.
Rather than sitting back during these tough times, I’ve worked hard to find new ways to support my work as a creative. Travelling in my van has become a personal pilgrimage, allowing me to explore the spirit of place and also give something back to the community via Member Powered Photography - free photography for historic sites that can’t afford professional media.

The Genius Loci Digest has continued to grow with a warm and connected community that cares and cossets me through my discoveries on my camper-van-camino. It is also a vital ingredient in the hot bowl of cultural broth that is this digest.
Why Your Support Matters
The Genius Loci Digest fosters resilience and well-being by bridging the past and future, using history as a source of wisdom.
At its heart, the Genius Loci Digest helps people reconnect with place, offering new ways of seeing that enrich their lives. Beyond this, my photography, art, and writing cultivate a sense of community and belonging, encouraging individuals from diverse backgrounds and perspectives to connect, communicate, and engage with something greater than themselves.
The Genius Loci Digest and Membership Tiers are vital. They keep me on the road, sharing the beauty of historic locations and the wisdom they hold.
