I’m a fashion and beauty photographer from London and began my career in 2010, when I was 17 years old. From that moment I knew I wanted to be a photographer. I’ve dabbled with various genres, but something about beauty and fashion resonated with me.
I soon realized that I wanted this to be my career and at this point I was getting ready for university, but, by the middle of 2011, I already had paying clients – I took the plunge and decided to follow my heart, fully committing to portrait photography.
At the start, I needed to get my name out there, which is one of the reasons I worked with bloggers and influencers where possible. This helped me get a foot in the door. I’m a big advocate of representation and body positivity, so I’ll work closely with models from various backgrounds. It’s important to me to work with plus-sized models too, as this group is often under represented in the industry. Because of this, I have great connections throughout the industry, with regular clients, such as Nella Rose and WMNS Wear, as well as models, I know well and can rely upon.
I’ve always used Canon. I love the speed of my EOS 5D Mark IV: I find no delay when shooting, which is fantastic for fast-paced shoots. I also adore how easy the menu is to use and understand. It sounds simple, but the different sections in the menu make it much more intuitive for me, meaning I can spend less time setting up my camera – and more time shooting!
