I'm a London- and Brighton-based documentary and industrial photographer with over 15 years of experience. Before returning to the UK, I spent a decade living and working in China, covering stories across the country for editorial and corporate clients.
Photography has been my focus since I was 16 when I got my first SLR. I went on to study Photojournalism (BA Hons) in Wales, graduating in 2005, and in 2007, I moved to China, where I established myself as a freelance photographer. Over the years, my work has taken me from illegal coal mines to dissident artist studios and boardrooms, including a portrait session with the president of Taiwan. In 2018, I published GLORIOUS!, a photo book exploring China's "Second Generation Rich"—offering a rare glimpse into the extravagant lives of China's elite.
Since returning to the UK, I’ve worked across a range of industries, from television productions and editorial commissions to industrial photography for manufacturing and engineering clients. Whether documenting a corporate operation, capturing key art for a BBC series, or producing a visual narrative for an annual report, I bring a documentary approach to every assignment—creating images with authenticity, depth, and impact.
My photography has been featured in global media, advertising campaigns, and corporate reports. I regularly collaborate with photo editors, communications teams, and art directors to produce compelling, high-quality imagery.
If you have a project or commission in mind, let’s talk—I'm available for assignments both locally and internationally.
