Mission Critical.

"I want to create pieces of work that are ‘powerful’, not power in terms of dominance, but rather something so strong and evocative, that it causes a person to look at themselves in a new light, perhaps radically changing their impression of the person looking back at them."

My Story


I’m a Nerd. There, I said it, I absolutely love tech! In fact, my whole career previously has revolved around Technology; Facilitation, Support and Management of.


My allegiances are firmly and loyally in the camps of Apple, Canon and Denon, enjoying both form AND function that result from creative, functional design.


I picked up a camera initially to document, realising that I had very few photos of my childhood. That led to some extraordinary trips to Africa photographing wildlife. I also felt drawn towards fashion-inspired portraiture, from which I discovered a real interest in the human face. So now, after a period of career transition, I am passionately involved in facial photography and emotional conveyance - in short, a Headshot Photographer, based in Bristol, UK.

My Happy Place


Outside of the studio, what gives me extreme amounts of joy is listening to the sounds of hippos, elephants and hyenas, carried across the warm African air and feeling that warmth on my skin as I observe and capture the natural world around me.


When I was much younger, back when everyone had a VHS video player and Blockbuster reigned supreme, my Mother and I would visit the video shop to seek out new David Attenborough wildlife documentaries. Now as an adult, each time I’m fortunate enough to enjoy the immersive experience of being out in the African wild, it evokes an immense sense of awe, gratitude and grounding!
