bringing traditional, hands on,

creative photography to you.

Skin that glows, guaranteed.

Hello! This is me!

Down on the Kent Coast, you can find me and my little home workshop/darkroom, not far from the beautiful creek in my home town, Faversham.

The Wild Darkroom is run by me and creative family time is high on my list of priorities. We don’t get too many warm months here in the UK, so it’s great that cyanotypes can be done all year round. They simply take a slower pace, which is fine by me! Hot chocolate and movies under blankets!

I started making Cyanotype Paper packs back in 2020. Following in the footsteps of photography that started with cyanotype in the 1820’s. It’s a beautiful and simple process, making it something I knew would be accessible for everyone.

I hope you find what you are looking for.

Quality & Artwork that Stands the Test of Time

No matter where you are in the world, creativity is there too. We all communicate creativity in different ways. Even our differences weave together as a beautiful tapestry.

Quality Over Quantity

Some things that make The Wild Darkroom.

1

Connecting People

My heart is to bring people together in creative community, through photography.
2

Traditional Photography

Although I enjoy digital photography too, my passion is all things analogue.
3

City & Countryside

Wherever I am, I am inspired! I love London as much as I love trekking the hills in the Lakes!
4

Family Values

Family comes first, always. Thats why I built TWD around our family life.
5

Seeing the Details

My products are designed and made with care, so that you can enjoy the beauty of the process as soon as you see the box.

Embracing the Slow

I'm not in a rush, we are all here to see, appreciate, and spend time in the world around us. Analogue photography captures the essence of that.
