About Me

About Me

I’m British but nowadays I live in Brisbane, Australia, with my girlfriend and two cats. I’m currently studying photography at college, and I have a degree in History attained in a previous life. So yeah, I love photography and I love history… My other favourite things are art, live music, cooking/baking, picnics, crosswords and red wine. I’m friendly – say hello!
