About
I am a London based photographer, focusing mainly on portraiture with a love of analogue processes.
My personal work addresses themes of transience, identity, community, isolation and loneliness.
I am most well known for my Stillsoho project, a series of black and white portraits of friends and lovers set in the landscape of a disappearing London.
I am available for commissions and assignments.

Biography
I was born in Paris and was raised in Las Vegas and a Hampshire village and mainly brought up by my maternal grandparents. My first job was picking up feathers at the Moulin Rouge in Paris where my Dad worked for over 30 years. My Mum was a Las Vegas showgirl and appeared in James Bond: Diamonds are Forever as Shady Tree's Red Acorn.
My previous careers have included stints as a croupier in Mayfair casinos and the cruise ships; a bar tender at the French house pub in Soho; production assistant to legendary advertising photographer John Claridge; a gallery girl in London’s art world, working with influential curator Emma Dexter at Timothy Taylor Gallery; and archive assistant to Beat Generation expert and cultural historian, Barry Miles.
My work has been published in AnOther Man, Harper's Bazaar, German Vogue, L'Uomo Vogue, Port, Town, Elephant, the Daily Telegraph, the Guardian, the New York Times and Artforum.
I have photographed several internationally renowned contemporary artists including Susan Hiller, Sean Scully, John Stezaker, Ann-Marie James, Boo Saville, Neil Libbert and Hugo Wilson.
