If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be? Chief of an Amazonian tribe.

What is your current state of mind? Restless. A friend and I were due to explore 10k miles from London to Mongolia in 2020, but I haven’t even left the south of England these past 12 months.

Which words or phrases do you most overuse? “Quality". My vocabulary is just awful.

Which talent would you most like to have? Forager - knowing how to eat from the wild. We've lost almost all connections to instinctive survival so I’d like to know which mushrooms are ripe for the picking.

What do you consider your greatest achievement? Making a hobby my career.

Where would you most like to live? Somewhere aestehtically dramatic. I’m constantly thinking about Norway at the moment, mountains, forests, fjords, so at this point in life… I’m going with Norway.

What is your most treasured possession? My stereoscope is pretty interesting! It’s a Victorian photo viewing contraption that basically brings flat images to life, I love it - The original 3D photography.

What do you most value in your friends? Generosity

Who are your heroes in real life? I’m just going to go ahead and list a few of my favourite photographers, because let’s be honest, if you’re interested in reading my bio there’s no way you won’t want to look at these: Marcin Kempski, Fred Herzog, Harry Gruyaert.

What is it that you most dislike? Arrogance ……..and baked salmon.

What is your greatest regret? No regrets as they say …. but I must get round to visiting India.
