’m a London-based visual anthropologist, photographer, and filmmaker working with artists, galleries, and cultural institutions as a producer and image maker.

My passion for visual storytelling is rooted in cinema, photography, and contemporary art. Since 2010, my work has been published in major outlets, including Harper’s Bazaar, where I documented working women. Over time, I developed a particular focus on artist portraits, drawn to the intimate energy of capturing someone in their studio.

I’ve built in-house studios for brands like The Cambridge Satchel Company and Feelunique (formerly Sephora) and currently work as a Producer and Events Manager at Victoria Miro Gallery, working closely with major contemporary artists. Alongside this, I run my own studio, creating portraits for fellow artists and my own artistic practice.

With a master’s in Visual Anthropology from Goldsmiths University of London, I explore themes of identity, the environment and memory.
