I am a London based freelance photographer. People are at the forefront of my images. I cut my teeth shooting club nights, and as a result, events photography has been a large part of my career.
My prominent style is reportage — a hidden-in-plain-sight approach, whether I'm shooting clubs, corporate events or protests. Alongside events I shoot portraits, lifestyle and corporate work, including headshots and documentary projects. Additional portfolios are available on request.
For over ten years I've worked as lead photographer for creative agency Our Secret Lab, covering stills across their projects for blue-chip clients including Four Seasons, Argon Medical, Rayner and Abbott. This work regularly takes me around the globe, creating content on location for major brands.
I love my job and I am always up for a chat about what you require.
