About

With over 20 years behind the camera, I've worked with global brands including Marc Jacobs, FIFA and Costa Coffee, creating photography and video content that helps businesses promote their brand, engage their audience and showcase their events.

Today, I specialise in event photography, brand event photography and content creation for businesses throughout Shoreditch, Old Street and East London. From product launches and networking events to creative industry gatherings, exhibitions, agency events and tech startup conferences, I create imagery that captures both the atmosphere and the value of your event.

Having worked across some of London's most vibrant creative districts, including Shoreditch, Brick Lane and the Silicon Roundabout area, I understand what makes events in this part of London unique. Whether your event is taking place in one of Shoreditch's converted warehouse venues, a creative studio space, a rooftop bar or a leading East London event venue, my focus is always on capturing authentic moments and creating content that reflects the energy of the occasion.

Great event photography is about far more than documenting what happened. It's about capturing the conversations, the creativity, the connections being made and the moments that make people wish they'd been there.

Before every event, I take the time to understand your objectives, your audience and how the content will be used. Whether you're looking for photography for LinkedIn, PR, social media, website content or future event marketing, this understanding helps me create images that continue delivering value long after the event has finished.

Whether you're organising a brand launch, networking event, exhibition, creative showcase, tech conference, product launch or corporate gathering in Shoreditch, I create natural, professional photography that tells the story of your event and showcases your business at its very best.
