in the water.
There's something about being in the water.
You move differently. You notice less. You stop thinking about the camera and get on with whatever it is you came to do.
Surf. Swim. Sail. Play. Explore.
I'll be in there too, looking for the movement, the light, the connection and those fleeting moments that are impossible to recreate on dry land.
HAVE A GOOD BRIEF?
Or a half formed idea? Even better.
BEAUTIFUL ISN'T ENOUGH
Crude but true. Your audience doesn't need another photograph of someone wearing a jacket on a mountain.
They need to feel the cold. The wind. The freedom. The pull to get outside.
That's what I'm interested in.
Creating imagery that doesn't just show what a brand does, but makes people feel something about it.
I work with outdoor, lifestyle, adventure and human-centred brands to create imagery with energy, emotion and purpose.
AN ARTIST'S EYE. A STRATEGIC MIND.
I trained in Fine Art and spent the last two decades working in marketing — across brand, content, SEO and creative direction.
So I don't arrive at a shoot thinking only about the photograph. I think about the brand behind it.
The audience.
The story.
The message.
The feeling.
Where the imagery will live.
What it needs to do.
Then I pick up the camera.
FROM IDEA TO IMAGE
You might come to me with a fully formed creative brief.
Or you might have a half-formed idea scribbled in the notes app.
Either is fine.
I'll help shape the thinking, find the story, work out what we need and make the shoot happen.
Location. People. Casting. Creative direction. Shot lists. Logistics. The unexpected stuff.
And then, of course, the photographs.
I like being involved.
COMMISSIONS
Every brief is different, so I quote based on the scope, creative requirements, usage and deliverables.
Commercial photography pricing can legitimately vary based on usage, licensing, production, location, number of shoot days, crew, casting, travel etc.
So a bespoke quote makes sense. Let's chat!
