Approach
I believe it is essential to connect with the architect’s and designer’s philosophy, whilst also understanding their intention for each project. Shooting in a discerning way, I capture atmosphere of the space by understanding the quality and direction of light and shadow. Using the camera I like to explore a life lived within their buildings, not merely documenting a point in time.
Clients
