Over three decades, I honed my craft, elevating advertising campaigns with my keen eye and studio expertise in London, New York and Cape Town. I've been fortunate enough to have explored the world through the lens of my camera. From the sun-kissed shores of California to the huge studios in London and the enchanting landscapes of Oman, I've always been drawn to the outdoors and now love to mix my studio lighting skills with the beauty of natural light. Photography runs in my veins, inherited from my father who placed a box brownie camera in my hands at an early age. By the age of four, I had filmed with my first Super 8 camera, we delved into the magic of film processing in the darkroom when I was just seven. It was an extraordinary upbringing, steeped in the art and craft of visual storytelling and what i still believe is the magic of how a camera works to capture a moment. On my eleventh birthday, I received a 35mm Pentax ME Super, a gift that further ignited my passion for photography. Since then, I've been on an exhilarating journey, capturing the world through my lens with unwavering dedication and boundless enthusiasm. Each click of the shutter is a testament to my lifelong love affair with the art of photography, a journey that continues to inspire and fulfill me every single day. At 16 I was modelling for Jackie magazine in London, then i was trusted to shoot photo stories for the magazine really enjoying being behind the lens, my journey in the world of photography has been nothing short of extraordinary. Transitioning from those early days of modeling, I ventured into the dynamic realm of men's fashion photography. However, my passion has evolved. Today, I find solace and inspiration in capturing the essence of people in serene, natural settings, my lens seeks to immortalize the beauty of genuine connections and authentic emotions. Embracing the simplicity of natural environments, I strive to create images that resonate with depth and authenticity, celebrating the essence of human spirit in its purest form.
