My dedication is in making a portrait the most telling image, showing the essence of who you are

I photograph each client individually
Lighting, make-up, location are employed to enhance what is attractive and striking in my client's visual appearance

My background is in Theatre, Televison, News, Documentaries and Feature Films. I watched & internalised the lighting techniques of some of the best directors of photography ever to make movies

I love to use artificial lighting but am equally interested in capturing natural light

My approach to direct my clients is very simple and can be best expressed in a quote..

"The camera catches the truth but it also catches falsity, so if you don't feel it, don't do it "
Terence Davies, Film Director, Actor

A note for German speakers >>

Hier ist alles auf Englisch, da ich für nationale und internationale Klienten arbeite. Ich bin muttersprachlich ebenso in der deutschen Sprache zuhause.

"Photographers who just photograph models and those like you who love actors are worlds apart."

Tatiana Breger, Actress

"I love your Actor's photographs - they are very filmic and not like
the usual stark, studio head shots of actors. As a director, your photos immediately evoke characters for me. Very special."

Catherine Jarvis, Film Director
