Here, real beauty wins.
I’m an award-winning photographer, honoured with the Photography Creator of the Year 2022 title at the BCreator Awards. My work is all about capturing the natural, unedited beauty of real skin—because to me, there's nothing more stunning than genuine and unfiltered photos.
My personal journey with cystic acne and the tough aftermath of treatments like roaccutane has fueled my passion for celebrating real skin. I’ve seen firsthand how the pressures of social media can glorify unrealistic beauty standards, and I’m here to push back against that. My personal project, “Good Skinfluence,” was born from this passion and has led me to collaborate with amazing brands like Superdrug, Deviant Skincare, Tolpa, and Tangle Teezer, all of which embrace and celebrate authentic, unretouched imagery.
More recently, I hosted two exhibitions of my work which featured real skin; seeing natural complexions being admired by visitors was a proud moment for me. It’s incredibly important to me to work with people and brands that align with my own values. Over the years, I’ve seen skincare brands moving in the right direction when it comes to showcasing their products on true-to-life skin textures, and I want my photography to continue to be part of that change.
I get it—bare skin can feel vulnerable, and that’s why I’m dedicated to making everyone in front of my lens feel completely at ease. Whether I’m working closely with models/real people on a campaign or working a PR event, my goal is always to ensure people feel comfortable, confident, and for the product to shine through in the finished photos.
When it comes to events, I’m your go-to for capturing candid moments and lively portraits that are perfect for social media. My experience shooting backstage at London Fashion Week for Notion magazine has made me a pro at snapping those spontaneous, memorable shots. In recent years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Studio London, Skinstitut, Bondi Sands, and many more at their PR events, and enjoy any opportunity to capture people in their element.
