fine art PHOTOGRAPHER, STORYTELLER & OCEAN ADVOCATE

BEHIND THE LENS

Originally from a fine art background, I love to shoot on film and experiment with the more organic and artistic elements of photography. With a signature style of in-camera double exposures, I aim to produce unique and instantly recognisable photographs, which have been described by clients as 'warm' and 'full of depth and character'.

I have worked with fashion clients such as Burberry, Vivienne Westwood and British Fashion Council, whilst shooting backstage regularly at London and Paris Fashion Week. Over the years I have also developed an eclectic portfolio of portraits, including capturing international artists for Sony & Columbia Records.

More recently, I have transitioned into shooting underwater, utilising my freediving skills to capture all of my underwater imagery on breath-hold. My work now predominantly revolves around ocean conservation storytelling and exploring my creativity within the aquatic medium for various commercial projects.

My focus on conservation work has led to me becoming an ambassador for Only One, an action platform in the fight for our oceans. I am also a contributor to Kogia; a free ocean photography library created as a resource for ocean conservation initiatives.

FROM THE STUDIO TO THE SEA BED

My artistic skills cover a wide spectrum; from photography to videography, creative direction to make-up & styling, the studio to the sea bed - meaning there is no idea too wild, and almost no environment unachievable for your brand vision.

Having established a successful career in the fashion world and grafting across various industries for over a decade, I now choose to create on the move. My love of the underwater world and exploring undiscovered lands has led me on an incredible journey around the globe, with an ever growing list of dream shoot locations. Whether it be freediving in one of the last remaining biodiversity jewels on the planet, baking in the desert heat, or exploring the jungle peaks of tropical terrain, my adventures are varied yet the landscapes are equally breathtaking.

With my camera in hand (and often feet in fins), I invite you to collaborate with me and seize the opportunity to transport your brand to the golden shores, mountain peaks or jungle canopy - without having to lift a finger.

CREATIVITY MEETS CONSERVATION

My love affair with the natural world stems from an overarching desire not only to document, but also protect the landscapes I am lucky enough to explore. Witnessing the fragility of these scenes is what has inspired the eco-conscious undertone of my work. My approach is about more than creative wanderlust; I view it as an opportunity to give back. The goal is to leave a positive mark on the communities and habitats that I encounter, whether it be through beach cleans, rescuing local wildlife or offering my services free of charge to local non-profit organisations, to help expand their reach and impact.

The carbon footprint of each trip will be specifically offset, through carefully researching and donating to local initiatives that are building the way towards a sustainable future for our planet. It is my hope that with this ethos in mind, I can dedicate both my physical and financial support towards the areas that I have created in, developing a circular experience that benefits both my clients and the very environment that inspired each project.
