I fell in love with photography when I was given my first camera as a child. The endless possibilities of making something through the viewfinder, the total absorption and the excitement at picking up the prints after they’d been developed. Not much has changed other than the shift to digital. Now as a photographer and yoga teacher these two seemingly separate careers have commonalities. Photography asks me to get curious. Whether it’s about seeing what happens as I step out onto the street with my camera or whether it’s what I can create when I collaborate with a client on a shoot, the process of making images is full of possibility. It’s also about connection. Putting a client at ease during a portrait session, finding common ground, storytelling and laughter, interacting with people through the medium of photography, that connection often shows in the images themselves. Similarly bringing curiosity to what unfolds during yoga is all part of the practice, as is trying to paying attention to the here and now. Movement is exploratory just like framing an image.

One of yoga’s central teachings is that things change all of the time; nothing is permanent. I started my career practising law before making the switch to photography. I trained at the London College of Printing and gained Distinction in Professional Photography Practice and over the next 20 years I photographed NGO commissions around the world, travel photography, weddings, family portraits, parties, corporate events and portraiture. I started teaching photography around 2010 and have led photographic holidays in wonderful places like India, Nepal and Europe as well as continuing to offer London photography workshops and talks on street photography and street portraiture.

More recently I’ve been focusing on portraits and corporate commissions and I ran my first Yoga & Fitness Retreat in Portugal in May 2024. When I’m not on a commercial shoot I’m often found roaming the streets of London with my Canon R5II.
