WHAT I SAY...

It’s all of someone’s collective experiences, reactions and interactions that brings them to this point in front of the camera. I try not to think ‘Oh, your a chef.’ I try and think ‘What food did you eat as a kid. Were you a pot noodle or bok choy teen’

....................................................

Photographing Burlesque performers made me feel obese and uncoordinated.

On the up side I learnt a lot about glitter.

I love photography. It’s my life before it’s my lifestyle and it's the way I communicate on behalf of the people that hire me. If you are interested in seeing more of the work I produce, or if you would like to discuss any projects further, get in touch, I'll tell you some stories about glitter.
