About
Editorial Photographer
I photograph people and spaces for editorial teams, hospitality groups, and design-led brands.
The work is precise without feeling stiff: available light, patient direction, and enough structure that clients can keep using the images long after launch week.

BFA, Visual Communication

A useful shot list protects the brief without squeezing surprise out of the day.

Editing for a long-tail campaign
How I structure selects when the client needs web, press, social, and seasonal refreshes from one shoot.
