WORK

The heart of my work lies in creating a space where people feel truly at ease—comfortable, seen, and free to express themselves as they are. At its core, it’s about turning a shoot into a shared moment—one that honours the subject and the energy they bring, where performance feels like presence, to which I respond. I watch for the realness, the breath between the poses, the flicker of emotion. That’s where the image lives. That energy guides how I approach each shoot: with joy, curiosity, and a deep appreciation for those fleeting, authentic moments that unfold when people let go. Authenticity is the natural result of trusting the moment.

Currently studying Commercial Photography at LCC, I’ve built a portfolio rooted in dynamic storytelling—from sportswear campaigns, lifestyle and fashion editorials to performance-driven portraiture and commercial visuals. My work is an invitation to move, to feel, to be seen. I often focus on gesture, body language, and how the human form interacts with its surroundings — creating layered textures that feel raw yet refined and composed. Even when shooting stillness, my frames are built to breathe.

My visual language mixes a stripped-back, cinematic aesthetic with urban textures and faded tones. I love black-and-white for its timeless clarity, but I also lean into other ways to create atmosphere. Whether I'm working with sunlight or intentionally sculpting light in-studio, I treat it as a key character in the narrative—shaping mood, contrast, and presence. It’s about harmonising the light with the movement and emotion of the subject—so the visuals feel alive and unfiltered.

I approach each shoot with curiosity and collaboration. Whether it’s a tightly directed campaign or a more experimental session, I’m always thinking about rhythm, emotion, and intention. I’m drawn to realness, to gestures that feel lived-in, and to images that hold both softness and strength. I want the viewer to feel something instinctive, to evoke connection.
