Visuals that honour people, builds trust, and tells stories with care.
Your organisation holds countless stories. Stories of hope, resilience, change, and the people who make your work possible. Stories from staff and volunteers who give so much for the mission, from individuals whose lives are shifting, and from the communities you serve every day.
I specialise in documentary-style photography and filmmaking, capturing real moments, emotions, and relationships. These stories are told authentically, ensuring that the people involved feel seen, safe, and empowered throughout the process.
Whether you want to showcase your campaigns, highlight your work with communities, or capture the day-to-day stories behind your mission, my work focuses on creating images and films that connect, inspire, and communicate the heart of your organisation.
Your children, and future generations, will one day look back at these photographs to understand what life felt like growing up. It’s a gift for your future selves.
You deserve albums full of joy, warmth, imperfection, and truth. Photos that remind you not just what your family looked like, but how deeply you love one another. That’s exactly what I’m here to help you hold onto.
Send me a message and we’ll set up a no-pressure call to discuss your project. We’ll explore your goals, the stories you want to tell, and how we can capture them meaningfully. Each project is tailored to your organisation, nothing is one-size-fits-all.
On the day of the shoot, whether for photography or film, the focus is on real connection. I document moments as they unfold naturally, while gently guiding if needed. Participants feel safe, seen, and empowered, allowing the most authentic stories to emerge through collaboration.
After the shoot, your images or film are delivered professionally. For photos, this might include a curated gallery of high-resolution images. For films, this includes a polished 3-10 minute storytelling piece (depending on the scope). You’ll have the chance to review and provide feedback before final delivery.
Your content is ready to use for campaigns, social media, websites, reports, or presentations. It’s more than content — it’s a tool for connection, impact, and meaningful engagement.

A photo can capture a moment, but a film captures so much more — the sound of your child’s laughter, the way they run to you for a cuddle, or the tiny details that make your family uniquely yours.
I create 2–3 minute family films that you can watch over and over again. These films might capture highlights like a first haircut or a birthday, but also the beauty in everyday life — lunch at the table, gardening together, tidying up, or a walk on the beach building sandcastles.
Family films aren’t just for kids. They’re also a way to capture grandparents or older family members — watching granny bake her beloved cake, or grandpa on his daily newspaper walk. These small, ordinary moments become extraordinary when captured on film.
For something even more special, I create Life Story Films — 10–15 minute films that tell a part of someone’s life story, usually focused on one theme. These films are perfect as a family legacy, a communal gift for grandparents, or a cherished way to pass memories down through generations.

I work on a wide range of charity projects, from documenting community initiatives, events, and campaign work to capturing personal stories, and working with the people who benefit from your services.
Before filming or photographing, I take the time to understand the individual(s), their story and make sure everyone feels informed and empowered. That means clear communication, no surprises, and complete transparency about where the images or films will be used.
My aim is always to portray people as whole humans, not just their circumstances. I avoid stereotypes, pity narratives, or imagery that sensationalises struggle. Instead, I focus on authenticity, strength, and humanity.
Where appropriate, I also offer participants or partner organisations the opportunity to review selected photos or initial film cuts before anything is published. This helps ensure everyone feels safe, respected, and accurately represented.
My goal is always to tell stories with honesty, care, and respect. Stories that elevate rather than exploit. If you’re a charity or organisation working with vulnerable communities, you can trust that the wellbeing of the people we’re documenting will always come first.
Before I ever pick up the camera, I spend time getting to know you — your organisation, your mission, and the story you want your audience to feel connected to. This usually begins with an in-depth conversation where we explore your goals, the people you support, and the impact you hope the final film or photo series will make.
I review any materials you can share — reports, campaigns, brand guidelines, language you use with your community, previous films or photos. This helps me step into your world and ensures my work aligns with your mission and voice.
I’ll often do a recce (location visit). This gives me the chance to meet the team and, where appropriate, the people I’ll be photographing or filming. It helps build rapport and trust before filming day and gives me insight into how to approach the story sensitively and thoughtfully.
On the day itself, I come prepared with a plan but stay flexible. Real stories unfold naturally, and I adapt to what’s happening in the moment while keeping your core message front and centre.
Throughout the process, communication is open, collaborative, and transparent. I’ll share suggestions, shape ideas with you, and ensure we’re aligned on the narrative we’re telling.
My aim is always to create work that feels true to your mission, honours the voices and experiences of the people involved, and connects powerfully with the communities and supporters you want to reach.
Creating a safe and comfortable environment is central to my approach. I spend time getting to know the people I’ll be photographing or filming, often meeting them beforehand on a recce. This allows me to see the project environment, build rapport, and establish trust so that everyone feels at ease before the camera even comes out. During the session, I communicate clearly and gently, explaining what’s happening and checking in regularly, so participants always know what to expect. I encourage collaboration, letting people feel involved in the process. I build a genuine and warm relationship with everyone involved.
Absolutely. I regularly travel for projects. Whether your organisation or projects are based in London, elsewhere in the UK, or further afield, I’m very used to working on-location and adapting to new environments. If travel or accommodation is needed, we’ll discuss those logistics clearly upfront so there are no surprises.
My turnaround time depends on the scale of the project, but I always make this clear before we begin so you know exactly what to expect. I’m very used to working to deadlines, especially when it comes to charity, organisational, or campaign work where timing really matters. If you have a specific deadline, whether that’s a campaign launch, press release, funding bid, or event, just let me know. I’ll plan the workflow around your timeline, communicate openly throughout the process, and make sure you’re never left wondering where things are at.
If your project requires any of the above elements I’m very happy to recommend or collaborate with specialists or your existing team.
Whether you need someone to take care of everything or just one part of the process, I bring over ten years of experience in documentary storytelling and charity work.
