hello,

they say that the best journeys in life ​answer questions that, in the beginning, ​you didn’t even think to ask.

My photography journey started at sunrise in ​​Scandinavia and continued on with orchard ​walks ​in Tuscany, hitch-hiking journeys through ​​Romania and sleepless boat rides in order to ​take ​on the waves of Indonesia. It has been an ongoing ​presence in my travels, accompanying the smell ​of newspaper-wrapped fish ​and chips in Devon ​and the sounds of tattoo ​guns in Camden Town. ​Through the photos, I remember the feeling of ​​freezing cold surf trips in Cornwall, chasing the ​​waterfalls of the Dominican Republic, the ​morning ​rush of Brooklyn and fighting the heat and ​humidity of ​India.


My aesthetic and style has evolved and been ​moulded by the ​places visited, people met and ​memories made. ​I consider myself fortunate to ​have had the ​chance to collaborate with some of ​the world’s ​most respected companies, talented ​athletes, inspiring ​musicians and creatives. ​Working in brand marketing ​and advertising for ​over seven years has ​also provided me with great ​insight, know-how ​and much needed time ​management skills and ​discipline.

At this point of my life I am based on the ​Coromandel peninsula, making the most of a ​slower lifestyle while taking frequent work trips ​around New Zealand and travelling back to ​Europe every year.

my offerings

I create imagery for all kinds of online and ​offline projects such as magazine editorials, ​books, advertising and social media content as ​well as personal archives or wall decor. This ​being lifestyle, fashion, food and product photogr​aphy, travel content and wedding and family ​photography including maternity shoots, family ​portraits, engagements and elopements. I shoot​ both digital and film.

Outside of photography, I have worn many hats ​throughout my career. ​With my background in ​film, advertising and ​brand management, I can ​help bring your ideas to ​life. Whether it is shoot ​production, art direction, sty​ling, book design or ​creative strategy.

I pride myself on my professional yet personal ​approach, planning, time management and ​emphasis on authenticity and connection with ​nature. As part of my services I offer free zero ​commitment initial creative session, in person ​or online, during which we can discuss your ​ideas, goals and expectations.
