Black and white portraiture. Photography in its purest form. My first love. A conversation between photographer and subject.
Feeling ready for 2026 and excited to create more stunning portraits this year of incredible people. My style is simple and honest - strip away the distractions, no gimmicks just strait up portraiture. Someone last year said they can feel the soul in my imagery. Forces you to focus on form, expression and texture. Here’s my portraiture snapshot, documentary and commercial coming soon! For booking emails [email protected]! Still independent, still hustling!
Looking back on my work and creating these reels has got me feeling extremely grateful for my journey so far. It’s easy to forget how far you’ve come when what started off as a prayer becomes your reality.
Yesterday a friend shared a story with me that really stuck. She told me while on holiday in the mountains in Morocco, she noticed a local guide had a photo of Lewis Hamilton as his wallpaper. Proud, he showed it off whilst he spoke about how inspiring Hamilton is and how much he means to him. That’s when Jas noticed the photo on his wallpaper was a photo I had made of Lewis. When she told him she knew the guy that made the photograph, he said, adamantly “make sure you tell him, he is living my dream”.
I share that story as a reminder to myself to never take anything for granted and that the moments I’ve shared are to be celebrated. Don’t underestimate the impact your work can have on the world. Don’t lose motivation to keep fighting!
Grateful to everyone who has played a role in shaping my career so far. Here’s to more exciting briefs and projects in the years to come.
Big thanks to @aronhailey for grabbing these shots of me climbing in Magic Wood with @billyridal and @francesbensley ! Not normally this side of the camera but nice for a change. Love that climbing can bring anyone together 💫
Driving around Europe can be such a special experience and Switzerland is full of desktop worthy backdrops. It’s been a little while since I’ve put a roll of film in my camera and just had fun. The feeling is back! @leicauk
Great weekend in a special place! A pleasure to get outside as always and make some real progress. Building up my confidence up on some easier classics and a couple hours trying hard before I headed back to London yesterday. Big love to @billyridal and shout to @francesbensley on cam and for being so open and welcoming. So many amazing conversations and genuinely two of nicest people you’ll meet! Massive love to @thealifraser for welcoming me to the forest and being there to help out. You’re a legend. Love to the community!

With photography every now and then, you’re lucky enough to be in the presence of generational talent. The moment I discovered the brothers sound I knew they were special. Coming together to create this visualiser with nothing but respect, integrity and love. Paying homage to some of the greatest bands and music videos, Earth Wind and Fire, Kool and the Gang the Jackson Five, The Wailers and of course, James Brown. And now, The League of Rebelz! Can’t wait for you all to hear the rest of the music. Brothers, you have my support. Only the beginning. Massive thank you to Wilo, Buster, Yves and Purple for your help on the day. Blessings!
