ABOUT ME

My name is Sarah Afiqah Rodgers and I am a Scottish/Singaporean photographer. I spend most of my time living in a van around Scotland and the UK heading to wherever life takes me.

My journey to photography was a long winded process, but for the past 5 years I don’t know what I would do without it. Photography has enabled me to live the life that I never knew was possible and has given me opportunities that I could have only ever dreamed of having.

Originally a figure skater, my life was spent mostly in an ice rink for 15 years. It wasn’t until I started travelling at the age of 19, that I knew travel and being in nature was a necessity for me. However due to the difficulties of life, it wasn’t until I was 22 that I was able to pick up a camera properly and learn how to turn this passion of travel and capturing moments into a career.

It was then that I set off on a solo journey to the very top of Norway. Driving in my Ford Focus from my home in Scotland all the way down to Dover, across the channel to Calais, France and then all the way back up again. This was the beginning of my photography journey and I give full credit to this trip for propelling my drive, passion and need for photography to become my career.

5 years later and this is where I am now. With a major soft spot for the snow and everything Arctic, I continue to chase the North every year with the remainder of that year filled in with epic journeys, capturing moments across Scotland in the van, exploring the deep mountains of Kyrgyzstan, or rolling in the sand dunes of Jordan.

Thanks to photography, I am able to live the colourful life that I could have only dreamed of.

  • I call myself Tiny Sarah because my height was always an insecurity of mine. Ironically it was such a powerful tool during my figure skating days, it never occurred to be an insecurity until it came to every day life and throughout my photography career.

    IBy calling myself Tiny Sarah, it is my way of owning my insecurity and empowering myself through my photography. Using my height to make the landscape look even larger, or make me look even smaller, to me it is a metaphor, that no matter how small I may be (4ft11 to be exact), no one will compare to the vastness of our planet and the huge and beautiful landscapes held within.
