MY STORY
I'm a fashion editorial and commercial photographer based in the beautiful city of York, North Yorkshire. My work spans editorial portraits, brand campaigns, lookbooks, and fashion photography — always with an eye for authentic emotion and beautiful light.
York is more than just where I'm based — it's woven into my photography. The city's medieval streets, Georgian architecture, and the sweeping landscapes of the surrounding countryside provide an endlessly inspiring backdrop for editorial and commercial work.
I work with brands, clothing labels, magazines, and individuals who want images that feel considered and alive — not just technically correct, but genuinely moving. My approach is collaborative, unhurried, and always focused on bringing out the best in every subject.
Whether we're shooting in the Shambles, at a North Yorkshire country estate, in a studio, or somewhere entirely unexpected — I bring the same commitment to craft, connection, and visual storytelling.

HOW WE WORK
01
We start with a conversation about your vision, your brand, your goals. No pressure — just a chance to see if we're the right fit.
02
Together we build a detailed creative brief: mood boards, locations, styling direction, and a clear vision for the shoot.
03
On the day, I create a relaxed, collaborative environment. Great images come from genuine connection — not a production line.
04
Every image is carefully edited in my signature warm, editorial style. Colour, tone, and light are all considered with care.
05
Your final images are delivered via a private online gallery, ready to download in full resolution.
06
Many of my clients return season after season. I love building long-term creative relationships with the brands I work with.
