A lifetime of visual story telling.

I’ve spent most of my life photographing people and paying attention to the small details and the special moments that help a portrait feel honest. Working here in Nottingham, I meet actors, creatives and professionals who simply want a headshot that looks natural and current. I enjoy the storytelling side of portrait work—the way a small shift in expression or light can say something true about someone. My sessions are steady and comfortable, and my aim is to create portraits that feel like you, whether they’re for casting, LinkedIn or day-to-day professional use.
