With 20 years of experience in commercial photography (both in-studio and in-field), I specialise in immersing myself in youth culture and everyday life to create honest visual anthropology, while expertly identifying and visually exploring consumers, brand loyalty, subcultures and markets globally. Through a well-honed creative instinct of years in this industry, I produce visual insights and deliverables tied to cultural shifts in globalisation.

Projects have been varied and diverse: ranging from documenting street life and culture in locations like Mumbai, Los Angeles, and other key cities around the globe for Levi Strauss & Co, to exploring Latino culture and community in relevant US locations for Shell Global, as well as navigating sport youth cultures in the neighbourhoods of Tokyo for Nike Inc.
While working at Nike Inc., Tokyo, for about eight years, I photographed and visually documented the brand's seasonal collections for merchandising and sales operations, catalogs, wall graphics, e-commerce, and photographed street inspirations in places of interest, relevant to the Japanese market.
I have delivered high-quality content and long-term, big-budget stories for a variety of sectors and agencies. Whether leading or working within a team, I work with pre and post-production teams to create fine art-finished, beautifully presented and packaged results.
I am the Founder of INTO seasonal magazine, a cultural exploration through photography and film.
