Luxury Event Photographer | London, England

Raised in Southern Africa, refined in England.

I have never been particularly good at standing still.

Twenty years of swimming competitively taught me that staring at a black line on the bottom of a pool for hours is either discipline or madness. Possibly both.

I have lived in seven countries, crossed continents, slept beneath African skies, and somehow ended up photographing some of the world's leading models in studio and private celebrations at venues including The Wallace Collection and The Dorchester.

It wasn't the career path I planned.

But looking back, it makes perfect sense.

Because life has taught me one thing:

People fascinate me.

Before photography, I spent years in global brand marketing, sitting across the table from some of the world's leading creative directors. I learnt that the difference between something memorable and something forgettable is rarely the obvious thing.

Then photography found me.

Shooting for Storm Models and Models 1 taught me more than fashion. It taught me how to put models at ease, how to anticipate the moment before it happens, and how to find the person behind the pose.

Those lessons come with me into every room.

I should probably admit something here.

I find perfect rather boring.

Many photographers spend their careers refining a recognisable style, where every gallery follows the same visual language.

Consistency for consistency's sake.

That has never been me.

It isn't a strategy; it is simply how I see the world.

A gallery where every image is polished in exactly the same way is like a song played on a single note.

The magic is in the contrast.

No two rooms, and no two occasions, are ever the same — my photography is shaped by the people in front of my lens, never the other way around.

A life spent as an outsider looking in, it turns out, is good training for noticing people.

You are not hiring a camera.

You are hiring someone who has spent a lifetime learning how to see.
