Lyun Magazine Publication: Coastal Chaser

My third publication this year was in the new Magazine Lyun Magazine for their Spring issue. I had already shot this editorial as a test but I had not released all the images and therefore I felt they should be in print as they are too beautiful not to share.

Victoria is a fantastic model with perfect fluidity in her posing styles, One of my methods when shooting is to give basic direction and let the model express themselves how they feel comfortable- this has always given me the best images and beautiful portraits. Mostly it has made for comfortable shoots with a lot of fun involved.

Salysé Magazine Publication: City Scapes

It is always great to see your work in print, but it is even better when it is in a publication as beautiful as Salysé Magazine. I was so happy to have my submission of my City Scape editorial accepted and published in their April Issue.

What is great about these shoots is I have full art direction from casting models/team to designing the shoot and how I would like the final outcome. This was all shot within 4 hours in London city around Liverpool St and the Thames. I had a perfect model in Mariam who was diverse and able to take direction well. We had a battle with the weather which was against us but this editorial was shot, selected, edited, submitted and accepted within a 24 hour period (proving how strong this series was).

Fact + Fiction

When I had planned to work with new brands, i didn’t expect to work with such a great brand so early. Fact + Fiction are a British brand and their bags have luxury sewn through them. When meeting with the girls it was clear they wanted to push their website to the next level and for their to be continuity throughout the site.
We will be continually collaborating on shoots throughout 2019 but to begin the year we launched with a very basic colour scheme, hinting in to the Pantone of the year- Coral, and remaining to brand.

I love to help brands design their sites through their photographic styling and the colour schemes that will best show their products. Their site is live and if you are interested in their bags- give them a look at
