About

I specialise in classical music and portraiture photography.

I have a background in classical music, and my work draws on this to create authentic, impactful images. I enjoy weaving layers of music into my work, from colour choices to emotion and movement. I love the variety of music and the individuality of the musicians I work with, which makes every project exciting and constantly engaging.

I have extensively photographed London's classical music scene, and this work has taken me all over the UK, as well as to Germany, Luxembourg, France, and the Netherlands. I have worked with some of the biggest and best musicians, ensembles, organisations, and venues in classical music, some of which are listed below.

My personal work currently explores queer body image, seascapes, and the connection between music and photography as a collaborative practice.
