He’s driving me crazy but I’m also glad we’re on lockdown together. Stay safe, everyone.

This is Qolile, a member of the first-ever all-female anti poaching unit The Black Mambas, in South Africa. I had the honour of documenting the Mambas in January and was blown away by their strength, resilience, skill and resolve. These women (and some me

OK Summer. I’m ready for you. You can come back now. A favourite outtake from a fantastic shoot last year for @pandocruises

I hadn’t heard of weaverbirds before my first trip to Africa - now they rate as one of my favourites. This fluffy little guy was working on a massive nest in Namibia ✨

This structurally unsound (but *incredibly* delicious) burger was our reward after the 19km hike over the Tongariro Crossing in January. 10/10 would devour again. 🍔

I’ve been back about two weeks and my feet are incredibly itchy already. Will gladly accept any Winter break recommendations...

Right now outside my London window there’s a delicious pea-soup thick fog. But in my mind it’s still Summer and I’m still winding my way down a mountain 😌

Last day of an incredible shoot in South Africa - sad to be leaving but also excited to get stuck into the edit!

Blue blue blue as far as the eye can see 💎 I have a whoooooole bunch of favourites from New Zealand yet to share, so here we go!

Back in London, but I’d be lying if I said my heart wasn’t still paddling around the waterfalls and climbing around the mountains of home ✨ PS thank you for the birthday wishes yesterday!!

Back in London, but a mixture of jet lag and emotion has my mind scattered across the ocean...
hellopoe:
Oh the deep greens and blues of my home 💙💚 On our little road trip around the South Island I was so excited to return to the Blue Pools - and of course the journey to get there is stunning too. We planned nothing else that day excep

Back in Blighty after the last shoot of the year... Straight into the sadness of what the election results will mean for this adopted country of mine. And worried for those who will suffer the most.

One last one from Namibia for the meanwhile - a bunch of zebras (or ‘pyjama donkeys’ as the guides cleverly code-named them!) near a watering hole just before sunset...

This photo isn’t going to be popular. It’s here because this little space is my own visual diary, and a place for me to share bits of life... Yesterday, after 12 years living in London, I became a British citizen. I’m still a fiercely proud Kiwi but I’m a

Not mad about all the orange & blue on my feed lately. Nice to feel the warmth even as it gets chillier here in London! 😌

Waking up in the cold and dark in London this morning (brrrr!) made me wish I was shooting somewhere snowy and beautiful - so here’s a little flashback to a favourite image shot in Iceland last year for @hemispheresmag ❤️

Continuing on with some favourites I haven’t yet shared! Shot on location in Kenya last year, the sound of all these flamingoes honking will forever be one of my favourite noises 💕

I’ve spent a lot of time the past month away from Instagram - working on new promos and dealing with actual real life. Going through recent work means I’ve unearthed images I don’t think I ever shared here, which I’m going to fix, starting... now!

The fishermen arriving on the beach is an event on Praslin - people swarm the boats as the men bring in their haul, the slap of fish on concrete slab, a flurry of words and notes and then within moments it’s all gone... super happy we finally managed to t

New work! Last month I travelled to the Seychelles with @estellashardlow to create images around Mahé and Praslin for @etihadairways inflight magazine, Atlas. Honestly, words fail me when it comes to trying to describe the beauty and importance of these i
