About

18 + years delivering commercial imagery for global agencies and brands — with a working practice that has always extended beyond stills into video, social content, and campaign strategy. I bring a photographer’s eye and a producer’s discipline to integrated content creation: from concept and planning through to capture, edit, and publication.
Alongside above-the-line advertising work for clients including Orange, Vodacom, Hyundai, Barclays, Samsung, and various beverage clients, I have independently planned, filmed, and delivered social media content — managing channel strategy, content calendars, and platform analytics end to end. I also built and maintain web presences using WordPress, including e-commerce and payment integrations.
