Francesca is a British ocean explorer, visual artist, and award-winning wildlife photographer and conservation photojournalist. Working across photography, film, painting, digital illustration and writing, she believes that art has the power to save this planet. She has travelled the globe using art and photography to capture vital conservation and wildlife stories, focusing on the overlooked and untold stories of our natural world. Deeply curious about how visual communication can shift perspectives, her work often shines a spotlight on misunderstood creatures, habitats, and urgent environmental issues. For the past decade, she has highlighted the stories of bycatch, the illegal shark trade, coral restoration, wildlife migration and the vital rewilding efforts taking place on her doorstep in the UK.

​

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 practice, Francesca is a scuba diving instructor and freediver, passionate about connecting people with the underwater world. Her work has been recognised by the International League of Conservation Photographers, National Geographic UK, Vital Impacts, Photo Vogue, Ocean Photographer of the Year, and British Photographer of the Year, and she has worked with organisations including Netflix, LIME, MARS, PADI, Scuba Diving Magazine, Flora Plant-Based, Sea Shepherd, Piccadilly Lights, Blue Marine Foundation, and The Nature Conservancy.

​

She is an Emerging League member for International League of Conservation Photographers (iLCP), a Girls Who Click Ambassador and is a mentee for the 2024-2025 Vital Impacts Environmental Photography programme under the mentorship of National Geographic photographer Brian Skerry.

When not in the studio, Francesca can be found freediving along England’s south coast, revealing the hidden beauty of British seas and inspiring others to protect them.
