My world is a fusion of art, conservation, and technology. 

Watch my interview with Mark Walmsley here.

As a wildlife and landscape photographer, I focus on capturing the raw beauty of nature, the untamed spirit of animals, and the stories held within abandoned buildings. My work isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about raising awareness and fostering respect for the natural world. I collaborate with conservation organisations like Love Lions Alive Sanctuary in South Africa, using my photography to highlight the importance of protecting our environment and the creatures that call it home.

Beyond photography, I have over two decades of experience in cyber security and resiliency, helping businesses navigate the ever-evolving digital landscape. As the founder of YGQ Solutions, I lead a team that specialises in AI security, risk management, and cloud protection, ensuring organisations remain secure in an age of constant cyber threats. But YGQ Solutions isn’t just another cyber security firm—it embodies my belief in harmony between technology and nature, even carrying the namesake of my beloved dogs Yogi, Goofy, and Qwin.

My approach to both photography and cyber security is rooted in connection—whether it’s understanding the behaviour of a wild animal or decoding the vulnerabilities in a network. In everything I do, I strive to create impact, bridge the gap between seemingly different worlds, and inspire people to see the beauty and fragility of what surrounds them—be it the digital space or the natural world.

Whether it’s through my lens or my expertise in cyber security, my goal is the same: to protect, preserve, and create impact.
