I am a London based Advertising and Editorial photographer, my work focuses on moments, lifestyle and portraiture.
I grew up near Lands End in Cornwall and found a love of photography taking pictures of my friends skateboarding on a Canon A1 film camera bought with my entire 6th form grant. After travelling around the world surfing for a number of years, and a period spent working in a circus troupe, I studied photography at Falmouth College of Art before going on to assist advertising and fashion photographers in London. I started to shoot for myself in 2014.
My work pulls inspiration from documentary imagery which I shoot for both personal projects and also for various NGOs and charities around the world.
My work is about people first and foremost, I am driven by the desire to tell a story - this is the essence of my images. It is about capturing something that is both descriptive and beautiful.
The majority of my commissioned work could be considered lifestyle, although I prefer the term life, as I try to keep it strongly rooted in real life and real stories, reflecting the documentary work that do, and bringing this approach to lifestyle briefs.
I also work for a number of editorial commissioners, shooting both fashion and portrait editorials. This is where I have experience of the aesthetic values that make an engaging image.
It is a combination of the above elements and approaches that give my work an authentic yet aesthetically considered style
