About me

Documenting the best of humanity

Hi, I’m Tracey, I am a documentary photographer based in Essex, specialising in the live, unscripted moments found in weddings, events and documentary commissions across the UK and worldwide.

I photograph with a full‑of‑heart documentary approach: immersive, energetic and deeply human. Whether it’s the electricity of a music festival, the love and connection of a wedding day, or the powerful storytelling of a charity’s mission, I work with the same real, raw and fearless eye. My aim is always to narrate moments as they naturally unfold; full of movement, full of emotion, full of truth.

Across every space I step into, I’m searching for the same thing: the grit, the grace and the unscripted moments that define us. My work is about archiving the energy in the room, the atmosphere, the heartbeat, the human spirit and transporting people straight back into the moment.

At the core of my practice is a commitment to human dignity. I’m particularly drawn to humanising those who are often overlooked, misunderstood or dehumanised, using photography to foster empathy, understanding and connection. My work explores the resilience, relationships and shared experiences that bring communities together, celebrating the best of humanity.

Photographs are extraordinary. They hold memories, document history, share news, amplify organisations and charities making a difference, celebrate excellence, reveal the beauty of a wedding day, and turn authentic moments into art. I feel incredibly blessed to do this work, to witness people, to honour their stories, and to create imagery that makes a meaningful difference.

I am currently undertaking an MA in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography at the University of the Arts London, for which I have been awarded a scholarship.

Thank you for being here.

Photography is my number one passion, and they say do something you love and you will never work a day in your life! That is certainly true for me.

When I am not freelancing, I am often still with my camera for fun, doing street photography around London or going to a photography talk or exhibition. If I am not doing photography, I am probably thinking about it!

My other big love is travelling. I am fortunate to have travelled to many far and wide places all over the world. Some of my favourite places I have been to include Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Thailand, Guatemala and Costa Rica.

I play cricket for a local ladies cricket team. I enjoy time with friends and family, my dog ‘Benji’, the cinema, theatre and good coffee.

I like cold water swimming, spontaneous adventures, sunsets, stars at night and being in nature as well as being in the city, I like the architecture and cityscapes of London. I love to live life to the fullest!

“From start to finish, Tracey was professional, friendly, and incredibly talented. She made everyone feel comfortable and captured so many beautiful, natural moments that we will treasure forever. The photos are stunning and perfectly tell the story of such a special day for our family.

What touched us even more was Tracey's kindness and dedication.”
