Country: United Kingdom 🇬🇧

A commercial photographer based in the North-West of England, working across the UK. I shoot a mix of food and lifestyle photography. I love communicating a brands story, through visual narratives, helping businesses grow, evolve and connect.

My passion for B2B photography, is probably due to my background, as a graphic designer, where I created branding for blue chips. This taught me, that a good photograph is one that is 'effective', it answers the brief, serves a purpose and drives results.

Although my move into full-time photography has been relatively recent, the journey began much earlier. As I grew up with a darkroom in the family home and have been taking photographs since I was a child.

I am drawn to the Chiaroscuro Technique, with its magical interplay of light and shadow. It has a wonderful subtlety of mood and enhanced colour contrast, which captivates me.

Even now, I am still in awe of the camera’s ability to freeze a moment in time. Being a photographer, telling stories through light, detail and emotion, feels like the best job in the world.
