            I’ve been gaining some new followers recently, so it’s time for a reintroduction!

            I’m a scientist and macrophotographer, fascinated by all the amazing creatures that live in the soil! I use my photography and media appearances to do science communication on soil biodiversity, to spread awareness and love for the world beneath our feet. Oh, and I’ve got a major book deal to write a popular science book on this subject, which I’m extremely excited about!

            Follow my page for interesting soil animal facts, macrophotography and updates!

              Adventures of a tiny white gummy bear. When you're a springtail this smol, microfungi are perfect drinking vessels, and slime mold sporangia are towering trees.

              I've not been out with my camera much lately; with parenthood, work and book edits taking up all my time. But I hope to pick back up with the macrophotography very soon! New Zealand's hidden soil treasures await discovery!

The closest petal, the base of the flower and a small section of its hairy, slender, green stalk are in sharp focus and the rest fades away into a blur.

The petals are covered in raindrops of various sizes. The background is a bluish green soft blur.

                        from the northern California redwoods, where stately Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) is surrounded by a dense forest understory of ferns, sorrel, and little shrubs.

                        Photographed along the Boyscout Tree Trail in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park last year in May. The trail is ~5 miles out and back if I recall, and leads to an impressive old-growth tree before it ends at a little waterfall. Worth the hike!

                                I took this image on a road trip down to the in 2024. We were wandering along a trail and I spotted this super overgrown stumpy branch. The sweeping arms of the Maple Vine above appeared like the skeletal bones of a birds wing - and so, to me, it looked like a small fledgling being covered and protected by the wing of a larger being.

                                Thick moss drapes every branch and trunk in a lush old-growth temperate rainforest, with ferns carpeting the forest floor in layers of deep, luminous green.

                                  That’s what the real world is about. Pine in the air. Bird calls. A chill, or the sun warming.

                                        To reach this location, my first step taken on the hike was stepping out my door.

                                        It’s impossible to express how grateful I am for that.

                                                    The Light We Cannot See (2022)

                                                    Taken on a brisk and cold morning in February, I managed to catch the first moments as the sunlight lit the tops of the trees during sunrise, leaving the rest of the landscape a blue from the cold frosting of the evening.

                                                    A serene winter woodland scene with frost-covered deciduous trees reflected in a misty, still lake at dawn. A single tall birch tree catches warm golden-pink first light at its crown, standing out against the otherwise cool blue-grey tones of the snow-dusted forest. Low mist drifts across the water's surface, softening the reflection and adding a delicate, ethereal quality to the image.

                                                        Join me for a unique photo workshop in July. The long days of summer provide plenty of time to go outside and explore the coastal rainforests and shorelines of Vancouver Island where we could see mammals and birds caring for their young.

                                                        The workshop is designed for photographers of all skill levels and is limited to 3 guests.
