I trained and worked as an illustrator, but now concentrate on photography projects and commissions.
My everyday environment is an important trigger for projects. I like to create an atmosphere in my photographs showing people in real places or constructed environments to give a sense of time and place. My story ideas sometimes begin with a written text which can be re-imagined as still and moving images.
I thrive in team environments, working closely with clients, art directors, and stylists to bring concepts to life. I can take a project through from concepts to completion delivering engaging, sustainable content for brand, digital, social, editorial & campaigns.
Clients include:
American Express, Bacardi, BBC, British Airways, BT, Clarks, Condé Nast, Ernest Jones, Heals, Levi’s, Mastercard, Merchant Archive, Qatar Airways, P&G, Parker Pens, Remy Martin, Soma magazine, Sony, The Times, The Sunday Times, The Telegraph, UBS/Tate Modern, Wallpaper*, Vogue Hommes.
I was selected to show at the 20th International Hyeres Festival of Fashion and Photography, in France. Also nominated for the Photofolio Exhibition at Rencontres D’Arles, France.
