Photography has become more than just a profession for me, it's a passion, and one that I decided to pursue full time in 2020, focusing primarily on food and drink photography, but more recently pushing into the portrait photography field. I had previously had a lot of experience of event photography, which had gotten me used to off-camera flash techniques.

I love understanding how to use light to get the results I'm looking for, and I believe that the style of portrait photography I've decided to focus on, is a style that isn't being explored much by many people in the UK. Making use of beautiful outdoor scenes, landscapes, sunsets, all while also having the subject clearly lit from the opposite angle, creates a dramatic look that I personally enjoy shooting.

I'd love to work with people locally to bring ideas to live. I'm a versatile worker, often doing the research needed to make sure my results are exactly what someone has in mind, hopefully better, and I'm more than happy to do anything to make sure your shoot feels comfortable, safe and professional at all times.
