CAPTURE - PAINT - PROTECT

Francesca, an award-winning wildlife photographer, and photojournalist, is renowned for her creative and powerful underwater and wildlife photography. As a published writer, photographer and internationally-selling Illustrator, she has travelled the globe to capture vital conservation and wildlife stories, using her artistic skills to inspire positive change. She is dedicated to capturing the beauty of our natural world whilst also shining a spot light on the issues it is facing. She believes that art is going to save this planet and it is her life’s mission to do just that.


Francesca holds a BA Honours in Illustration from Camberwell College of Arts, UAL, where she explored how visual communication can tackle environmental issues. Beyond her creative pursuits, Francesca is a Freediver and Open Water Dive Instructor. She spent a season as an underwater photographer on the Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia and she is now currently freelancing globally, focusing on compelling conservation narratives. 


Her work has been recognized by National Geographic UK, Photo Vogue, the International Photography Awards, Ocean Awards, Ocean Photographer of the Year and British Photographer of the Year, and she has worked with notable clients such as the Blue Marine Foundation, Netflix, Oceanographic, Flora, Sea Shepherd, Piccadilly Lights, Pangeaseed, PADI, and even astronauts, using her art to promote wildlife and conservation stories. She is a Girls Who Click Ambassador and is a mentee for the 2024 Vital Impacts Environmental Photography Mentorship programme.


When not in the studio, Francesca enjoys freediving off the South Coast of England or working on conservation photojournalism with top publications.

“My desire for adventure, storytelling and creating personal connections with my subject matter drives my work. I believe Photography and Art are powerful medium's to communicate the natural world and also serves as an important catalyst to connect you, the viewer, with the incredible planet I have fallen in love with. Art opens the empathy door, inviting you into a world you may not have explored or to a place in your mind you have not investigated. I believe art is going to save this planet and it’s my mission to do just that!“
