About

I am a commercial photographer with a fine art background whose practice centres on themes of identity and the time invested in building ethical, authentic representations of individuals. I position myself as a storyteller of subcultures and the everyday, working primarily across portraiture and lifestyle photography using a mixture of analogue and digital processes. Working predominantly in black and white portraiture, I explore identity through natural light and carefully curated lighting when necessary to shape atmosphere and tone. Although I favour analogue methods from 35mm to large format film due to their tangible and intentional nature, I also work digitally and within studio environments when appropriate. This multidisciplinary flexibility enables me to operate professionally across both commercial and personal contexts.

I am inspired by the stories, passions, and lived experiences of the people I photograph, particularly those who feel underrepresented. My practice prioritises a slower, person-centred approach in contrast to fast media culture, as I believe meaningful imagery requires time, trust, and active listening. This process allows for honest collaboration and more considered visual narratives.

Across my work, a consistent thread is the exploration of identity through ethical collaboration. Whether working with local charities on campaign imagery, photographing weddings entirely on film, or developing personal projects centred on identity and representation, I aim to merge a fine art sensibility with commercial functionality.

My work is directed towards art buyers and art directors seeking campaign imagery with a fine art approach, while also resonating with the communities and individuals represented within the work itself.

I have been continuously inspired by a local group of artists with whom I have collaborated, exploring the artist's mind, and how this is reflected in their environments, materials and processes they use. I find myself interested in the history of drawing and painting, and how that has influenced the development of my own photographic practice, as demonstrated by artists such as Caravaggio and Rembrandt. Equally, I am interested in the ethics of contemporary photography and how my commercial practice intersects with theorists such as Susan Sontag, John Roberts and Immanuel Kant.
