About

I fell into photography by accident. I never left — and I've never wanted to. I'm a Lighting Director, Lighting Assistant and Photo Tech with 25 years' experience working across fashion, editorial, advertising and commercial photography. My role is to translate creative ideas into practical lighting on set—from interpreting briefs and designing lighting setups to sourcing equipment, coordinating crew and solving problems under pressure. Whether in the studio or on location, I bring a calm, reliable and collaborative approach, with a strong eye for detail. Based in London, I work internationally and regularly across Paris and Mumbai.
