PROFILE

OVERVIEW

As a passionate and award-winning set photographer, I thrive on capturing the raw essence and intricate details that bring a production to life. Specialising in the dynamic worlds of film, theatre, and commercial sets, my work combines a meticulous approach with a deep sense of storytelling, creating images that not only document but elevate the creative vision on set. 

With a foundation in both fine arts and mass communication, I merge technical expertise with an artistic eye to authentically portray the mood, character, and intensity of each scene. I dedicate myself to crafting visual narratives that resonate with audiences and celebrate the collaborative spirit of set production, from complex lighting setups to spontaneous, behind-the-scenes moments.

My journey has been enriched by working alongside talented crews and creatives, enabling me to adapt seamlessly to the unique rhythms of set life and deliver striking, memorable imagery for every project.
