Strong, story-driven photography that connects people to places, processes and ideas.
I work with global brands, institutions, creative agencies and editorial teams to produce photography that communicates clearly, feels authentic and gets results. Whether it’s a large-scale industrial site, a boardroom portrait, or a campaign for a new series, I approach every assignment with the eye of a documentary photographer and the focus of a commercial collaborator.
Clients hire me when they need imagery that reflects who they really are — from manufacturing groups and energy providers to media companies, universities and NGOs. I’m known for working sensitively and efficiently in complex environments, building trust quickly and delivering high-quality, consistent photography.
With over 20 years of experience, I bring a calm, problem-solving presence to shoots, along with deep knowledge of visual storytelling. My work is used in advertising, annual reports, editorial features, recruitment campaigns and branded content.
Before returning to the UK, I spent a decade living and working across China, documenting everything from underground coal mining to youth culture and state politics. In 2018, I published GLORIOUS!, a photo book on China’s second-generation rich. I speak fluent Mandarin and still return regularly for assignments.
I’m based between London and Brighton and work across the UK and internationally.
If you're looking for photography that brings substance, nuance and credibility to your brand or story, I’d love to hear from you.
