/ Approach
A photograph should look like a decision, not an accident.
I shoot fashion and I shoot people, and after eleven years I've stopped pretending those are different jobs. Both come down to the same thing: knowing what you want the frame to say before anyone picks up a light.
That means pre-production you can actually read, a shoot day that runs to time, and files that arrive cut for every place they need to live — not one hero image and a shrug.

/ Process
Four steps, no mystery
The same sequence whether it's one headshot or a forty-asset campaign.
- 01
Conversation
A call, no charge. What the images are for, where they'll run, who needs to sign them off, and when you actually need them.
- 02
Treatment
A written treatment with references, a shot map, crew, locations and a fixed quote. Nothing moves until you've approved it.
- 03
Shoot
Tethered on set with a live gallery, so selects happen in the room rather than three days later over email.
- 04
Delivery
Retouched finals in every ratio you need, colour-matched across print and screen, with usage licensing already written down.
/ Word of mouth
What clients say
She shot our entire spring range in a day and the colour actually holds up. Our wholesale accounts noticed before we said anything.
Ninety-four people through a meeting room in two days, and every single headshot matches. I have never had that before.
Marcella files early, licenses cleanly and turns up having already read the piece. As a photo editor that is most of my job solved.
