I'm a photographer and director working across advertising, broadcast and documentary. For over a decade I've shot advertising campaigns, PR, and editorial for global brands and creative agencies. I work across both stills and motion, regularly directing and photographing within the same production to ensure a single visual language runs through everything.

What I'm always looking for is a dynamic moment, the instant where energy, passion or pride becomes visible in a person. Not posed, not performed. Found. It might be a sumo wrestler commanding a room with her presence, a Sudanese amputee who refused to be defined by losing his leg at sixteen and is now training for the Paralympics, a Japanese cyclist who has rebuilt his bicycle into something between art and obsession, an older athlete who treats stopping as someone else's idea.

That instinct doesn't change with the brief. On a global campaign or following a story that I become obsessed with. I'm looking for the same thing - a dynamic, atmospheric image where character is revealed. Balancing high production value with a relaxed and fun set which services the moment for the subject.

I'm based in the UK and work internationally.
