🔴Split Spectrum🔵

she found the concept, brought it to us, and we built it together. two photogs, one vision, all in on making something that felt real. this is what happens when creatives stop overthinking and just show up ready to execute. three people, one night, no compromise. that’s the energy. that’s what prints.

FADE IN

i shot this series chasing that feeling you get watching a film; when the camera holds just long enough that ordinary becomes extraordinary. it’s in the mesh, the way light catches skin, how a parking garage transforms into somewhere that matters. these aren’t about the car or the setting—they’re about capturing that breath between action and consequence, where someone becomes a character in their own story. the monochrome starts it; the rest is how color and light can bend the same moment into something that feels pulled straight from a scene you’ll remember.

✨CHROME & NEON✨

Red metal & reflected light. precision in every frame—every light placed, every angle considered. This is the work behind a commercial booking: technical execution married to storytelling.

“INFERNO”

i wanted to explore that space between chaos and stillness—where intensity becomes intimate. this series is about finding yourself in the fire, the quiet power that emerges when everything around you is burning.

Shot in collaboration with Ms Louise at Mia’s driveway this edit is about contrast: silhouette against radiance, silence against the roar.

Every frame in this series chases that moment—not the explosion, but the breath before it. the calm that lives inside the storm.

“MONOCHROME IN MOTION”

I’ve been chasing this shape for a while — stripes doing double duty as costume and as line work, tracing every bend and extension against raw stone. Shot in black and white on purpose, because the pattern needed to read as pure form, not fabric. What you’re looking at is control: the whole body loaded into a spine and holding it there, the hair the only thing allowed to move freely. Four frames of the same idea worked from different angles until they finally told the story I wanted.

OUT OF OFFICE

Some people take the scenic route.
Others treat it like a runway.

The old T-Bird wasn’t in a hurry. Neither was she. Sun low, radio probably playing something older than both of us, and a pair of red heels doing absolutely nothing useful except stealing every ounce of attention.

Turns out, sometimes the destination can wait.

👉🏻 Which shot’s your favourite?

✨MAKING AN ENTRANCE✨

Some entrances ask for attention.

The memorable ones never have to.

The plan was simple: recreate a classic.

Then the sun dipped a little lower, the shadows grew longer, and somewhere between the open door, the red heels, and the last light of the evening, the script quietly disappeared.

What remained wasn’t a scene from another story. It was the beginning of one of our own.

It began as a tribute to Grease. By the end of the evening, it had become something else entirely, a reminder that the best editorials don’t follow a script, they find one.

GREASED ⚡️LIGHTNING

Some eras never disappear. They simply trade chrome for matte black, jukeboxes for playlists, and classic convertibles for sport bikes. The attitude survives every generation.

This was our take on a timeless icon..

“GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN”

Polka dots, pearls, and zero chill. The kind of night where the dress code says pin-up but the energy says pure chaos — He came along for the ride, but let’s be honest, this one belonged to the girls.

“MISS ANITA BONITA”

Sunset, a parasol, and a dress full of tropical sunshine. Some looks don’t need a brief — they just need the right light and someone bold enough to own it.

“BETWEEN TAKES”

Not every frame needs a plan. End of a long shoot, everyone’s spent, and sometimes the best stuff happens when nobody’s trying too hard.

“VINTAGE ESCAPE”

Sunset, chrome, and a dress that twirls like it belongs in another decade 🌇🚗

There’s something about a classic car that just demands you dress the part. Gingham, gloves, and a ’55 Mercury Montclair — this shoot was pure vintage escapism from start to finish. From leaning on the open door to catching the last light through the windscreen, every frame felt like it was pulled straight out of the 1950s.

Sometimes the best sessions aren’t overthought — just good light, a good car, and a good time.
