Where did you study?

I studied in Glasgow, Scotland.

How did you establish yourself as a Photographer after University to now?

Immediately after graduating I interned in New York with American photographer Ryan McGinley, cementing the idea of pursuing photography as a career.

Returning to the UK, I initially worked in Scotland, before moving to London.

Progressively (as I call it) working my way up the tiers of the industry, now splitting my time between Scotland, London and the EU.

Soon to include the US pending my visa.

Why are you a photographer?

After seriously picking up a camera as part of an Arts Portfolio Class I felt a pull towards the medium. I began delving into the history from portraiture greats such as Avedon, Bailey and Donavan that toed the line between portraiture and fashion to documentary icons like Henri Cartier-Bresson.

I’m constantly motivated by my peers and colleagues, by literature, magazines, and of course by cinema!

How would you describe your photography style in a few words?

A mix of portraiture, fashion and cinema. Energetic, fun, comfortable and natural.

What are your most exhausted sources of inspiration?

I’m particularly drawn to the works of William Eggleston and Gregory Crewsdon, both produce incredibly beautiful work that looks like cinema stills.

Cinematography inspires me no end. The way actors and directors have the ability to move you with the smallest (or largest) actions or dialogue. It inspires me to create more. What is art if not to move its viewer.

What do you aim to capture in your images?

The person in front of me, the essence of that person. The mood, movement and moment(s) of the collection.

What can clients expect when working with you?

An artist that takes however much creative may be in place and runs with it and expands on it. (within parameters)

Friendly, approachable and locked in.

How would the people closest to you describe you, in three words?

Driven, gallous, caring.
