AWARD_WINNING PHOTOGRAPHER - MISSION: WOMEN BEING SEEN
My love of sports started at an early age. Competing in cross-country, and middle-distance athletics, followed by years of movement through a daily yoga practice. Capturing the beauty of the body in movement is what moves me. This deep understanding of the body is expressed in my images.
Awarded the 'The Women’s Sport Trust' Imagery of the Year in 2018 for my projects focusing on women’s sporting initiatives. Showcasing the dedication behind the physical aesthetic and championing a valuable ethos for life. My mission is to increase the visibility of women in sports, recognising that a female perspective is crucial to shaping the narrative.
As you can probably tell from my work, I’m a slightly obsessive perfectionist, and like a terrier (my other passion) I’m tenacious, loyal, and fun to work with. If you are looking for images of quality and authenticity, and you also have a story to share with the world, then chances are, we are a good fit.
CLIENTS INCLUDE:
Nike, Red Bull, Reebok, M&C Saatchi Sport and Entertainment, and UK Invictus athletes.
I also produce supplement and clean step-by-step images used for magazines like Health and Fitness, Yoga Journal and The Telegraphs women’s sport supplement, in addition to more evocative lifestyle details for SMEs.
Projects
- Basketball - Oluche & NelsonEmbracing the power of play has been a game-changer in my creative journey. It offers a unique chance for uninhibited self-expression. For me, it's about crafting from a space of spontaneity, allowing ideas, impulses, and senses to roam freely without the constraints of external demands.

I work with brands such as Reebok, Liforme, triyoga, and recently the UK Invictus athletes for Sage. I produce clean step-by-step instruction images used by magazines like Health and Fitness, Yoga Journal and Weight Watchers in addition to more evocative lifestyle details. I love to helping businesses create authentic images and explore their unique voice in personal brand and online story sessions.
" I hadn't expected so much care, safe guidance and direction in helping me find what I was looking for. My brand was helpfully evolved and the description I now use to explain my style of teaching was born from those pictures.”
Nikita Akilapa
Sport is a constant in my life, since mud loving cross-country competitions as a kid to blocking days to savour test cricket, from running the London marathon to screaming my lungs out watching rugby, I believe in sport. It’s been my medicine, helping to manage a chronic illness and developed resilience and the determination to make a life in photography. This passion for and deep understanding of the body is expressed in my images.

Approached by Qatar Airways to photograph the onboard equipment and services for the entire fleet. During this project I photographed the fleet interiors, onboard equipment, amenities and cuisine, as well as the brochures to launch the Boeing 787 and the Celebrity Chef campaign.
These inspirational images ranged from onboard lifestyle to studio set-ups and they were used to inform customers, colleagues and trade partners of the services and products provided by Qatar Airways.
