About

Resident Photographer · Governors’ Camp, Maasai Mara

I am a 21-year-old photographer and biologist from the UK, and a recent graduate with First Class Honours in Biology (Zoology) from the University of Edinburgh — achieving the highest overall grade in my cohort. I have extensive field experience across Africa, including recently spending time with the Kyambura Lion Monitoring Project in Uganda, which led to co-authorship on a paper published in Current Biology on multi-species foraging on a Marburg virus bat reservoir.

I hold an NQF2 Nature Site Guide Qualification and CyberTracker Track & Sign Level 2, and I am also an experienced wildlife and sports photographer, with work for Governors Camp Collection, Edinburgh Rugby, PlayerLayer, University of Edinburgh Sport, and IGNITE. Alongside research and conservation, I have gained tourism and guiding experience in Mashatu Game Reserve, Botswana as a mountain bike safari guide.

I am currently the resident photographer at Governors’ Camp in the Maasai Mara, Kenya.

From the Field

Multi-species foraging on a Marburg virus bat reservoir

I was a research assistant with the Kyambura Lion Monitoring Project in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda. That work became a paper I co-authored in Current Biology — on multi-species foraging at Python Cave, a Marburg virus bat reservoir.

In the field

Stubble & Co

I’ve been using the new Motion Adventure Pack 38L out in the Maasai Mara. It’s built to move between travel and adventure, and it’s been the perfect companion for my photography in the field.

I have also been using the Kit Bag 65L as the perfect bag for all my other luggage. Soft-sided, waterproof recycled materials, water-resistant zips. Strong enough for the dusty, bumpy roads, and the right bag for those bush planes that only take soft luggage.
