IMAGERY THAT SELLS.

As a freelance visual artist, I have worked with multinational marketing and design agencies to create bespoke imagery for multimodal delivery.
No requirement is out of scope, and I regularly provide complex and tailored visuals of an exemplary standard that no stock imagery agencies can match.

I have delivered projects in almost every field within contemporary commercial photography, and this experience and flexibility allow me to deliver results for the most demanding of briefs. I have experience in the fashion industry and have worked around some of the biggest magazines in the UK; household names such as ELLE, Harpers Bazaar, and Good Housekeeping - to name just a few. Coming from a comprehensive artistic education, my unique style and visual aesthetic set my own work head-and-shoulders above your standard local hobbyist photographers.

I have a wide remit of additional skills that mean I can bring unique insight to a large manner of multidisciplinary projects. These include:

Digital & Print graphic design, mixed media, and marketing;
Comprehensive project management;
and personalised industry-focused tuition.

I use high-quality equipment and industry-standard post-processing to achieve an exceptional standard of quality, every time.

I am available for cross-country and international work on location, and I am open to long-form commissions.

// about

// reinventing analogue

One of the skills that set me apart from many modern photographers is my ability to shoot analogue Film in a professional capacity.

For many clients, the familiar nostalgic look and feel of an image shot on analogue film is an intangible aesthetic that is still unattainable by digital methods. As popular market demand soars for the “old way of doing things”, I still offer those tried-and-tested traditional services in a modern, reinvented capacity.

// personal work

As an independent local artist, I am always in the process of creating new work; documenting the environment and experience around me.
I have several long-running projects on a varied range of subjects, and I have been fortunate enough to have many of these works exhibited in local galleries and exhibition spaces.

You can see my published personal work in the Portfolio section, or on Instagram.
Prints of my personal work are available in the Print Shop.

I have been the Curator of Photography and one of the Production Coordinators for the Estuary Fringe C.I.C. - a notoriously provocative Southend-based arts festival since December 2015. In this capacity, I have been involved in many initiatives in support of local artists and photographers, and I have showcased some of the town’s best artistic talent in my own exhibitions.

// videography

As well as providing still image work, I also have experience filming and directing short films, music videos, and facilitating live location broadcast media.
Previous clients include Essex Fire & Rescue Service, The Green Party, Raze The Void (featured), and local musicians.
