I am a full time commercial photographer based in London.
I knew from an early age I wanted to be a person who created, who made things that were not in the world before.
I first started assisting/running in the film industry. Having been brought up in studios and dark rooms (my father was a photographer), I always knew I would work in a creative industry. The opportunity came to assist a young photographer who was starting a studio in Clerkenwell. This is where I really learned how to work in the photographic industry, interpreting briefs, managing client expectations and creating a fun relaxed atmosphere to work in. While I learned to shoot product and still life I knew I wanted to shoot people and was able to take the disciplines I had been taught and use them for portraiture and editorials.
One of the best things about what I do for a living is that even over the last thirteen years i've always been learning, every shoot teaches me a new lesson, whether it's a new lighting trick or directing a child. I feel I have the best job in the world, and I can't wait to see what challenges and surprises await me on my next shoot!
