✨ Hi, I'm Steph!
I’m a travel photographer and storyteller with a passion for capturing the world through my lens and turning those moments into art. Whether it’s a hidden alleyway in Tokyo, the dramatic coastline of Wales, or a sunrise over Cappadocia, my camera is always by my side.
After taking a career break from my job in the Civil Service, I set out on a solo journey to explore new countries, document unique cultures, and challenge myself along the way. That “grown-up gap year” turned into so much more - a chance to inspire other women to embrace solo travel in their 30s and beyond.
