About me

I’m an Award Winning photographer. I won Photography Creator of the Year 2022 at the BCreator (formerly Blogosphere) Awards. I’m all about showcasing diversity and empowering women within my work. I have worked with an array of brands and made sure there is some epic diversity within their images: whether it be trans women, plus size women, women of colour, disabled women and even men within spaces that are typically seen as for women (such as makeup). I’m currently shooting a lot of unretouched campaigns showcasing real skin thanks to my personal project ‘Good Skinfluence’. Whether it be acne, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, I photograph it and want to see it in the media. Thanks to Superdrug, Deviant skincare, Tolpa, and Egyptian Magic for having me on board with campaigns like this! I work with brands on their campaigns and social media content creation. I’m particularly good at skincare and beauty campaigns with ‘real people’ modelling as well as shooting product content at home and making it look user generated.
