Jo Malone - Lime Basil & Mandarin Shot on film. Worked through the grade to match the stills — holding the density and colour in a way that keeps the image feeling alive, not overly polished.

Kit Harington for @manabouttownuk — Spring/Summer 2026 Shot digitally. Worked with @matt_healy_studio to pull the images away from a digital capture into a more vintage analogue 35mm feeling world.

Junya Watanabe for ICON America — Issue 3 A different take on the blazer — pushed away from uniform and into something more expressive. Shot digitally. Built the finish in post — shaping colour and density to move it away from a straight digital feel.

Tommy Hilfiger for ICON America — Issue 3 A take on prep that feels a bit looser. Shot digitally. Built the finish in post — shaping colour and density to take it away from a clean commercial feel.

Graham Norton — for @britishgq Shot on film. Built the finish with @willowwilliamsphoto — pushing the grade into a moodier, tighter vibe while still keeping it fresh.

Olivia Cooke for @theststyle Shot digital on Fuji. The finish was built in post — tone, density and grain shaped deliberately to shift it away from a clean digital feel and closer to something more film-led for print.

One I forgot to post from a little while back — a warm, quiet little piece for Jo Malone London. Soft tones, clean frames, and a gentle pace to match the mood.

Benedict Cumberbatch for @port_magazine with @prada & @vanguart Part of a wider portrait series reflecting on grief, masculinity, and presence. Graded this one for @matt_healy_studio — keeping the motion aligned with the stills in tone and texture, aiming for a muted, filmic finish that holds the emotion without overstating it.
