About WillowWulf

I want to share what I see.

Every day I walk on Dartmoor with Willow.

Some days the moor is wrapped in mist. Some days the light catches the heather for only a few fleeting seconds. Sometimes we come home with photographs. Sometimes we come home with nothing more than muddy boots and fresh air.

The walk is always enough.

Photography simply allows me to share those moments when nature quietly asks us to stop and pay attention.

For much of my adult life, my work has been about helping people feel seen, understood and valued. Whether through education, community development or supporting others to discover their own strengths, I've always believed that connection begins with noticing.

Looking back, I realise that's exactly what nature has always given me too.

I notice the small things.

The changing light across the moor.

The patterns left by frost.

A fox standing quietly in a gateway.

A bird appearing for only a heartbeat before disappearing again.

Moments that many people might never see because they pass so quickly.

Receiving an autism diagnosis later in life helped me understand that noticing details, patterns and quiet connections isn't simply something I enjoy - it's how I naturally experience the world.

Photography has become a way of sharing that perspective with others.

The name WillowWulf comes from two remarkable dogs who have shaped my life.

Wulf, my Northern Inuit, was my constant companion for over thirteen years and worked alongside me as a therapy dog. He taught me about trust, gentleness and the extraordinary comfort that can come simply from being present with another living being. I miss him every day, and his quiet influence continues to shape the way I move through the world.

Willow came into my life as a frightened nine-month-old Siberian Husky. She arrived carrying experiences I could only begin to imagine, and earning her trust has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. She doesn't seek affection in the way many dogs do. She chooses connection on her own terms. She observes before she acts. She is fiercely independent, quietly resilient and endlessly curious.

In many ways, we understand each other.

She has become my companion across Dartmoor, reminding me every day that trust isn't demanded - is patiently built - and that there is strength in remaining true to who you are.

WillowWulf is where all of these threads come together.

It is a place to slow down.

To notice the beauty that is so often overlooked.

To reconnect with the natural world.

To discover that extraordinary moments don't always arrive with fanfare. Sometimes they are found in the way the light falls through the trees, the call of a distant bird, or a single quiet encounter that lasts only a few seconds.

If my photographs, films or artwork encourage you to pause, breathe a little more deeply, or see the world with fresh eyes, then WillowWulf has done exactly what I hoped it would.

Thank you for walking alongside us.
