Cosa ami del tuo lavoro?
I love the being able to use my creativity and work ethic to help find or generate powerful imagery. Being able to tell a story through a single shot is the reward I always drive obtain in every shoot. And working with new people and providing them with a service they enjoy and a product they can hopefully cherish is real plus.
Che tipi di servizi hai fatto e come li hai resi speciali?
I have completed fashion / product shoots for new brands working with models and I enjoyed helping to make the models feel at ease allowing them be more expressive with their faces, movements and emotions.
I have worked with refugees, documenting their plight in Calais, France. That was particularly special to me, as I wanted to represent them as honestly as I could whilst also showing the awful situations they were forced into without obviously over stepping any mark / potentially exploiting them. It required a lot of communication and I encountered people I will never forget but it felt like really important work.
I have also completed lots of drone shoots and in particular instance I captured thousands of long exposure shots of traffic at night, before knitting them together in post to create abstract light movements to show how the city came to life.
Every shoot I go on feels like an experience and they all become special in their own way. Those moments will never happen again, so what's captured is special.

Un fatto divertente su questo fotografo
I taught Primary School children in Vietnam for 3 years. It's a beautiful place with beautiful, curious, resilient people and I had a really wonderful time.
