The moment, captured.
I photograph real people at full speed: riders mid-air, crowds mid-chorus, couples mid-laugh. The best moments last about a second and a half. Lucky for you, that's my favourite unit of time.
Four ways to keep a moment
From grassroots game days to wedding dance floors, it's the same eye on every job.
Sport & fitness
Your athletes leave everything out there. I make sure the camera catches it. Game days, gyms and race days, right at the peak of the action.

Events
You host, I'll handle the photos. Launches, openings, awards and celebrations, captured quietly so you can actually enjoy your own party.

Live music
Moody lighting, fast moves, one shot at it. Exactly how I like it. Concerts, festivals and band promo, ready to share while your ears are still ringing.

Portraits & weddings
Camera-shy? Perfect, you're my favourite kind of client. Relaxed portrait sessions and weddings that leave you looking (and feeling) like yourself.

“Read the room, find the light, be ready before the moment shows up. The rest is just pressing a button.”

I love reading people: the laugh building, the hug about to happen, the second before the finish line. Spotting those moments is the fun part. Nailing them in focus is the job, and I take that bit very seriously.
The big dream? Shooting action sport on the world's biggest stages. Every job, from a Saturday-morning game day to a skate session at the Mount, sharpens the eye for it.
