CAPTURING AUTHENTIC SENIOR LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHY ON THE NORTH EAST COAST
LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHY SHOOT ON THE NORTH EAST COAST OF ENGLAND
Working with the Getty Images creative team, this senior lifestyle photography project was shot across coastal and city environments in North East England, exploring themes of friendship, connection, and everyday life.
The project began along the coastline before transitioning into urban city spaces, using contrasting environments to create a natural visual narrative. The openness of the coast and the structure of the city provided a dynamic backdrop for capturing authentic, unscripted interactions between friends.
Using a documentary-style approach, the imagery focuses on real moments of movement and connection, resulting in contemporary lifestyle photography that feels grounded, relatable, and modern.
PHOTOGRAPHY FOR MORDEN COLLEGE BRAND REFRESH – NEW IMAGE LIBRARY
LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHY FOR MORDEN COLLEGE – CAPTURING LIFE AND COMMUNITY
As part of a brand refresh for Morden College, I was commissioned to create a new image library across two South East London senior independent living sites, focusing on everyday life and community.
Shot over two days in a reportage style, the project captured real, unscripted moments rather than staged scenes.
The aim was to reflect the authenticity of daily life—interactions between residents, shared spaces, and the natural rhythm of routines.
From social activity to quieter moments, the images form an honest and respectful portrait of independent living, shaped by connection, familiarity, and place.

WORKING WITH THE PORTAL TRUST – EDUCATION PHOTOGRAPHY SUPPORTING YOUNG PEOPLE
A charity photography commission for The Portal Trust, produced with Red Stone, this project was shot at The Aldgate School in London—the only state-maintained primary school in the City of London.
Focusing on a school music class, the brief was to capture real moments of teaching, learning, and creative expression. Shot in a natural, reportage style, the aim was to reflect everyday classroom interaction rather than staged scenes.
From group performance to quieter moments of focus, the images capture the energy and collaboration of the class, forming an honest record of school life in London.
CAPTURING CONFIDENCE AND CONNECTION FOR THE DOVE SELF-ESTEEM PROJECT
WORKING WITH THE DOVE SELF-ESTEEM PROJECT – SHOOTING ON LOCATION IN SOUTH EAST LONDON
For over 20 years, the Self-Esteem Project has worked with parents, teachers, and communities to share body confidence and self-esteem resources with young people worldwide.
This photography project was developed with the Getty Images creative teams in the US and UK, with additional support from Dove, and shot on location in real school environments. The focus was on capturing authentic moments of young people outdoors.
Scenes were lightly directed to encourage movement, interaction, and play, allowing natural energy and expression to come through. The result is a series of lifestyle images that reflect confidence, positivity, and real connection, supporting global campaigns around youth wellbeing and self-esteem.
