It’s More Than Just Food Photography.

After two decades with a camera in my hand, I’ve come to believe this: the most beautiful food photography isn’t just about the food. It’s about the story behind it. It’s about the light, the mood, and the feeling you get when you look at the image.

My journey began with a degree in fine art, where I learned to paint with light and shadow. That artistic foundation, paired with my commercial training, is the heart of everything I do. It allows me to create images that are not only striking and effective for a brand, but also deeply felt and full of soul.

My approach is all about finding that emotional core. I’m not interested in over-styling; I’m interested in creating a genuine atmosphere. It’s a process I’ve been honoured to share with some incredible partners, from capturing the rich heritage of Brown Brothers Wines and the rustic charm of Yarra Valley Dairy to creating campaigns for McCain Foods and bringing cookbooks to life for Penguin Random House.

Every project is a new story waiting to be told. It starts with us talking, with me listening closely to your vision. From there, we’ll work together to create something that feels elevated, intimate, and completely true to you.

If you’re looking for a partner to help tell your story with artistry and intention, I’d be delighted to hear from you.
