Photography has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, shaping both my creative and professional journey. I take a highly technical approach, specialising in macro food photography where I focus on capturing detail and texture with clarity. Alongside my commercial work, I explore vintage photography—a personal passion that has grown into a dedicated event service—merging modern expertise with timeless style. I also run bespoke 1-2-1 classes, sharing practical skills and creative techniques with photographers who want to refine their craft.

Hi, I've been a rep for some time, and I have had a passion for photography for many years. I enjoy taking photographs across multiple genres, finding interesting subjects and angles as I go about my day-to-day. I’ve also started getting into low-light video, which fits well with my interest in capturing moments, telling stories, and exploring the natural world. My passions include writing, comedy, and the Natural Sciences.
