Driven by an enthusiasm for storytelling and connecting with people, my work explores the everyday human. My portraiture and documentary work best exemplify my love of people, where the mutual trust between photographer and subject is visible. It's essential for me to either research the subject or spend time getting to know them. This interaction results in me making pictures that capture stories and the shared experiences that make us human.
In addition to my practice, I lecture, critique and provide workshops.

- FurōFurō was inspired by colourful bold fashion imagery & the charm of movement. This series is in collaboration with stylist Ania Egan. I hadn't done anything remotely close to this, so a big thank you to all involved. The desired result was a collection of images that are colourful, warm and maybe a little feel refreshing.
