When producing any work I stand by a series of ethics. With the marine environment, I will never move, touch or bait marine life with food for a photo or sequence. When approaching any marine life, I do so with care and consideration, watching their behaviour and waiting for them to approach me instead of chasing a subject. This can be seen though the work I have produced on my social media or website with marine animals turned to me or with an interest in me, not the other way around.

When capturing the marine world, I often try and make the landscapes seem appealing. This can be misleading, as the ocean does not always look like this. But when my work reflects this perfect marine world, it is to highlight the best of the ocean, encouraging people to want to advocate for this habitat.

Additionally, with projects pertaining to mental health, as seen in my work on eco anxiety and stress induced tics, I will draw off my own personal experiences. I cannot speak for others but can communicate my experiences To avoid misrepresentation. I have always found the ocean to be a place of healing for my mental health and sharing that idea hopefully can support others looking for an escape from their troubles or struggles with mental wellbeing. I want my work to support people who are struggling.

Overall, these two themes work side by side to encourage people to step outside and embrace nature respectfully whilst looking after their own mental health. We can as a community start to look after our seas, and ourselves.
