About

I've photographed landscapes and nature since my teens and have worked professionally with models since November 2024. Much of that work began on film and commercial sets, where I act and where I met many of the models I now photograph.

I rent the studio and build the lighting and backgrounds myself. Many of the people I work with are new to modelling, so a big part of a shoot is directing poses until they look natural on camera.
