Travelling the world at 18 with a camera in hand, photography quickly became an integral part of Philly's life, alongside a deep desire to live more intentionally and meaningfully. Her love for the ocean, surfing, and visual storytelling led her to study for a BA in Fashion Photography at Falmouth University, while also completing her yoga teacher training. Naturally drawn to the sea, her photography soon centred around the ocean, with her first featured project — documenting female surfers across the UK — inspiring her to continue telling authentic stories through her lens.

​

Since then, she has explored even more corners of the world, photographing travel campaigns while embracing a life shaped by daily surf and slow living. She has collaborated with a range of inspiring, like-minded brands as both a photographer and ambassador, while also supporting small businesses in building thoughtful, visually driven branding. Her photography style is deeply rooted in nature, light, and emotion, capturing everything from lookbooks, hotels, products, and events to portraits and lifestyle imagery. She also runs a wedding photography business, Wild Tide Love. Based in Cornwall, she can usually be found either behind the lens or in the ocean, embracing a slower pace of life.
