With a degree in photography under her belt, Heather set off for a year of travelling around the world to practise her skills. She is strongly passionate about the Americas, having hiked the Peruvian Inca Trail, trekked the Half Dome in Yosemite National Park, USA, journeyed through Torres Del Paine National Park in Patagonia and gone heli-hiking on Mt McKinley in Alaska. Heather has a particular passion for combining her loves of photography, travel and the great outdoors, and the stunning landscape of Patagonia is her favourite subject to photograph.
