My photographic practice explores how communities shape and sustain a sense of place. Through documentation of everyday rituals, material culture and cultivated landscapes, I examine how identity is expressed in lived environments.

I am particularly interested in the quieter expressions of identity that exist beyond major cities. Much of my long-term work in Japan forms part of an ongoing project documenting all 47 prefectures, with attention to regional culture and areas facing depopulation. Approaching photography as research, I work through observation, conversation and sustained engagement - prioritising depth, context and care.
