PR & Editorial Photography

I approach PR and editorial photography by looking for the story behind the brief. Using people, place and context, I create images that communicate an idea rather than simply document what is in front of the camera. Moving between observation and direction as the story requires, my aim is to produce distinctive, versatile photographs with a strong sense of character and atmosphere.
