After months of shooting, refining, and rebuilding, I’m excited to share my new portfolio.
I’ve been focusing on creating still life photography for advertising and editorial, with a particular interest in food, drink, beauty, cosmetics and product imagery. The new site brings together a selection of recent commissioned work alongside personal projects that explore light, colour, texture and form.
A huge thank you to everyone I’ve collaborated with, supported, or learned from along the way. Your trust, feedback and encouragement have helped shape this body of work.
I’d love to hear what you think.

Plant based.

A series exploring the ingredients behind plant-based meals — taking everyday vegetables, herbs and produce and turning them into playful, sculptural still lifes.

Looking at shape, balance, colour and texture, and giving the ingredients a little personality of their own.
Shot by me.

An old favourite from the archive, shot for ES Magazine.
Cocktails, colour and a little bit of theatre. Still really love the deep greens, hard light and jewel-like drinks in this one — always nice finding images that still feel fresh years later.

Dior in colour.

A personal still-life study exploring fragrance through light, reflection and atmosphere — using glass, projection and saturated colour to create something somewhere between product photography and dreamscape.

Make the most of the last of the summer evenings!

Italian Feast 🇮🇹
A sun-drenched table of antipasti, aperitivi and all the beautiful disorder left behind when everyone digs in.

A personal food and drink series exploring the warmth, colour and atmosphere of a long Italian lunch—hard light, deep shadows and plenty of crumbs.
Photography and direction by me.

Dreamscapes is a personal series exploring the space between reality and imagination.

Rather than relying on CGI, I wanted to create images that felt genuinely surreal using practical techniques. Each piece was built in-camera using a combination of projection, mirrors, atmospheric haze, carefully controlled lighting, and handcrafted sets to bend perception without losing a sense of realism.

I’m drawn to those quiet moments where light feels almost tangible, reflections become impossible, and familiar objects seem to exist somewhere between memory and dream.

The challenge was never just to create something beautiful, but to make the impossible feel believable—even if only for a moment.

Frozen moments. Moving stillness.

Icescapes is a series exploring the beauty of ice as both sculpture and landscape. Tiny frozen worlds become vast, cinematic environments through light, texture and motion.

I’ve always been fascinated by taking ordinary materials and presenting them in a way that makes you look twice. This project continues that idea, blurring the line between still life and moving image.

The full film is now live on my website, where I’m bringing together both my photography and motion work.

I’d love to hear what you think.

It’s always rewarding to see new work make it into print.
A selection of my recent still life images has just been published in the latest issue of Hunger Magazine. Huge thanks to everyone involved.
Over the past few months I’ve also been refreshing my portfolio and have recently launched a new website, bringing together both my still photography and motion work.
I’m continuing to focus on creating clean, graphic imagery for brands across food & drink, beauty, luxury and lifestyle, and I’m looking forward to seeing where the next projects lead.
