I want you to look great, but I also want you to look like you.

I see portraits very much as a collaboration. Most people feel awkward in front of a camera, which is completely normal, and my side of it is simply to put you at ease. Once you relax, your confidence comes through, and that's when you look your best.

The lighting is simple and elegantly crafted. I retouch each image carefully, but always with a light touch: just enough to brighten the skin, soften a wrinkle, or remove an errant spot. A subtle colour grade gives a contemporary tone, but the image should never look retouched.

I'm based in West London and like working on location, at your home or place of work, where I find people are most relaxed. We can also work in a studio when the brief calls for it.

I photograph individuals and teams: founders, professionals, artists and performers. Really, anyone who needs a flattering, professional portrait that actually looks like them.

My work has been exhibited internationally, including at the National Portrait Gallery in London, and has won awards from the British Journal of Photography and the Association of Photographers.

Sittings start at £150 + VAT and include two finished portraits.

If that sounds like the kind of portrait you're after, get in touch. I'd be happy to talk it through.
