You have to find a job that makes your heart feel big instead of one that makes it feel small x

Because when your heart feels big, everything else just feels a little bit better too 🥹❤️ You have more energy for the people you love, more excitement for life & more of yourself to give.

I’m learning that real performance is being able to show up well in all areas of your life. To be good at what you do, prioritise your training, chase big goals & still have enough of yourself left to be the person your home team can count on too ❤️x

The Outsiders Project.

This was such an all-encompassing project for Substance.

The team at @wit.fitness & @fridayand_ tasked Substance with bringing the “Outsiders” campaign to life through people and story-telling (our JAM). They knew they wanted different. They wanted outspoken. They wanted to make a mark. 

We loved this brief. Big up the people who understand what they want before they brief. 😂 

We then turned that into a story of three.

Three different people. Different in their own ways. People who love sport for completely different reasons, and each bring something different to the table.

They aren’t your “typical” athletes, and that was exactly what we loved about them.

I actually had a pretty good idea of who I wanted in this campaign when @katierlea was still in the middle of telling me about Outsiders. I had already imagined what the hero video looked like in the space of about 45 seconds.

I didn’t want to tell the usual story of “I get up at 5am, train three times a day and eat this exact diet.”

We wanted everything else.

The personalities. The culture. The reasons why people train. The things that make them different. The things that make them them. The ordinary. The mundane. 

We also wanted to tell the story through different sports and disciplines, reflecting the training ecosystem as it exists right now, far beyond one definition of what an athlete looks like.

The result was pretty fucking perfect.

@chroma_odyssey_films captured the cinematic, dramatic movement we envisioned so beautifully, and @bykiarajim is genuinely one of the best photographers I’ve worked with when it comes to bringing out culture, character and emotion. That paired with the creative eye of @fridayand_ was 👌 

And the cherry on top? I got to capture the stories of people i knew. People who’s story needed to be shared, and getting to do that and helping them bring out their own narrative was very special.

Projects like this are exactly why I love what I do.

Thank you @wit.fitness and @fridayand_ 👏

A pain au chocolat for breakfast and he’s still “barking down your ear”.

Billy. Builder, trail runner, outsider, and the one to watch on race day. 

“YOLO”

Meet Billy.

Billy Blower has always done things his own way. 

Full of personality, and the one to watch on race day.
A builder by trade and a lover of the trails, he doesn’t follow the same track. He follows what feels right – just him, the trails and the space to switch off.

His story isn’t about standing out. It’s about never pretending to fit in.

An Outsider;

Someone who defines performance on their own terms.

They don’t train to fit someone else’s definition of success. They train for their own reasons, in their own way. They question convention, trust their instincts and aren’t afraid to take a different path.

Not driven by perfection or comparison, they’re driven by purpose, curiosity and the belief that progress doesn’t have to look the same for everyone.

Because sometimes taking the outside lane gives you the insider edge.

A gorgeous week of working with the @wit.fitness and @fridayand_  teams on a campaign where we wanted to push back on the narrative of what athletes “should be” and how athletes “should” act.

Excited for you to see it 🫶🏽 

For now here’s some bts (my favourite thing to capture)
