Portraiture (2018-2023)

Digital photography.

Portraiture forms a core part of my photographic and artistic practice. Both for commissions and personal projects. 
I often work with concepts or themes motivated by issues and ideas I want to understand or connect with. My process is collaborative and includes research, discussions, and meetings. These inform the making of the images.

I use this approach for most of my people-based work. This includes work for model agencies, artists, editorial teams, music publishers, and marketing teams.

The work here is an overview of photographic portraiture from personal projects and commissions.
