WHAT DOES A TYPICAL DAY IN YOUR LIFE LOOK LIKE?

There’s really no such thing as a typical day for me. Every day is different, I could be in Africa working with lions, flying to Bermuda, or shooting on a boat in Greece. The only consistent thing in my life are my amazing crew and manager who support me non-stop around the world.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR AESTHETIC?

I love timeless images that could be from today, or 30 years ago. My images often have a grainy quality as I’m not a fan of super sharp digital images and I love a neutral colour palette and warm tones. I also love movement and life to an image so I’m usually capturing scenes that feel “in the moment”.

YOUR GO-TO SOURCES OF INSPIRATION

I love old family photographs from Victorian times through to 1980s, and often look for these in flea markets around the world. Old magazines from the 70s and 80s are also a go to, as well as movies.
