Why me?
Most people I photograph don't exactly love being in front of the camera and that's completely normal.
But by shoot day, my clients usually feel far more relaxed.
This is because we've already spoken, we've had time to plan things out and we know exactly what the photos need to do to get results.
My background
Before becoming a full-time photographer, I spent almost 20 years working in recruitment, including 12 years overseas.
I had to become an expert in understanding people and solving problems. Skills that still help me today.
I also work as a commercial model and actor. Doing this has given me a lot of experience being on the other side of the camera. This really helps to really understand how my clients feel and what I can do to make things even better.

Why planning matters
Being unprepared and not knowing what to expect is usually the biggest fear people have.
It's why I can spend more time planning a shoot than actually taking the photos.
Once we know what the images are for, where they'll be used and the message they need to send, taking the shots is the easy part.
It's my job to make the whole process straightforward, so you can show up online with confidence, feeling comfortable as the face of your business.

When I'm not shooting
When I'm not in front of or behind the camera, you'll usually find me hiking or doing anything that gets me outdoors. That includes sitting at the Emirates watching the Gunners when I can!
Fitness is important to me. I'm a fan of proper house music and I love a good coffee. Even if that does mean I'm sometimes called a coffee snob!
