I was born and raised in Devon but for the last 25 years I have been living and working in Somerset on the edge of Exmoor. Whilst the area I live in lends itself to landscape photography, I find the people who live and work here to be equally photographically inspiring. The work of photographer James Ravilious is a constant reminder to me of the importance of capturing the everyday of rural life and has helped to form the basis for my own work.
