How we work together

One story. Three ways of shaping it.

visual stories with connection at the heart

Together we’ll build a partnership that carries your story from our first conversation through to the final delivery, keeping your vision authentic, coherent and aligned at every stage of the creative process.

We’ll shape the creative process and approach around your objectives, bringing together photography, short-form film and drone in whatever combination will create the greatest impact.

Our journey together

A bespoke approach shaped around you

Every project is different, but the journey is always shaped around your story, your objectives and the people you want to reach. These stages provide a framework for working together, while leaving room for curiosity, collaboration and the unexpected moments that often become the most meaningful.

1. Discovery

Every meaningful story begins with listening.

We’ll start by exploring what makes your work distinctive, who you’re trying to reach and what you want people to feel long after they’ve experienced your story.

Together we’ll explore the threads that matter most which shapes a starting point for our creative direction that feels authentic to your organisation, your people and your purpose.

2. Story strategy & pre-production

co-creation & laying the foundations

Once we’ve uncovered the heart of the story, I begin translating it into a clear creative direction. This is where the practical planning and creative thinking come together, ensuring every decision supports the narrative we’re trying to tell.

We’ll decide the most effective combination of photography, short-form video and drone, consider the rhythm of the shoot, and plan around the people, places, light and conditions that will help the story unfold naturally.

3. Production

bringing the vision to life

Every project is carefully planned, but the strongest stories rarely unfold exactly as expected. This is where experience, observation and adaptability come together. I work responsively as the shoot unfolds around us. Changing light, shifting weather, unexpected encounters and the quiet moments in between often become the photographs and films that carry the greatest emotional weight.
Whether I’m working alongside your team or independently in the field, my focus remains the same: creating honest, compelling visual stories that people can genuinely connect with.

4. Crafting the story: post-production

Crafting an impactful visual story

The post-production phase is where we shape the footage and photos into a cohesive visual narrative. I edit each image and video, in a way that is consistent with my creative process and photography portfolio to amplify the impact of your project’s vision to ensure a professional final product that connects with audience and resonates on a deeper level.

5. Delivery & beyond

your story, ready to share

The moment where the final collection of assets is ready and shared with you and support you to share your story with the world. Many projects continue together, with clients returning to build visual libraries that evolve alongside their work.

My way of seeing

How I approach each shoot

Every project is different, but the way I work in the field has taken root in an approach that starts with curiosity & noticing, watching how people move through a space, how light shifts across a landscape, how conversations unfold and where the story quietly begins to reveal itself.

It’s a living practice that has been shaped by thousands of hours in the field and continues to deepen with every person I meet and every place I explore. It guides every photograph, every film and every decision I make behind the camera.

curiosity

The invitation to look more closely.

noticing

Reveals what was already there.

presence

Creates the conditions for trust.

witnessing

Transforms noticing into relationship.

connection

Where every story begins.

Create

How shall we tell your story?

Every story begins in the same place: with curiosity, connection and understanding what you want people to feel.

From there we choose the right medium. Sometimes that’s photography. Sometimes it’s short-form film. Sometimes an aerial perspective reveals what can’t be seen from the ground. Often, it’s a blend of all three, woven together into a single visual story.

Stories that grow over time

Many of my clients return season after season, building a growing library of photography, short-form film and aerial imagery that evolves alongside their organisation, destination or campaign..

The longer we work together, the deeper the understanding becomes. Each commission builds on the last, creating a visual story with greater consistency, depth and impact.

BESPOKE PROPOSALS FOR EVERY COMMISSION

It is an honour to collaborate on such a diverse range of commissions and no two stories are the same. From focused founder sessions to multi-day productions across multiple locations, every commission is shaped around the story you want to tell and the impact you want it to create.

Share as much as you can about your project, including your goals, budget and timeframe. I’ll recommend the creative approach that will create the greatest impact and prepare a bespoke proposal built around your story.

Travelling wherever the story takes us

I work across the UK and internationally, moving between cities and the wild edges of earth, sea and sky, as each project requires.

Travel and associated costs are outlined clearly within your proposal.
