A fashion and portrait photographer working across the UK and India, from lookbooks for emerging designers to school and studio commissions. I run a shoot from the first idea through casting, lighting and styling to the final edit, and I enjoy the part where a strong image does exactly what the client needed. I collaborate end to end turning briefs into clear creative direction, managing casting and setups, and delivering polished edits. My focus is consistent quality, calm on-set communication, and images tailored to each client’s goals.
