Portraiture is a beautiful collaboration between a model and photographer. With a sensitive approach, portraiture captures the authentic essence of a person, without distortion, offering a true reflection to the world.
Personal by nature, portraiture invites someone into another’s world, creating a sense of intimacy and intrigue beyond the photo. Through 1-1 collaboration, the vulnerability of being in front of the camera transforms into a playful and familiar process, with every element tailored around the client’s needs to nurture a comfortable environment.
Outdoor spaces act as beautiful settings, with soft natural light for delicately framing each scene. Carefully choosing spaces is an essential part of each portraiture session to allow a person to feel most themselves, inspiring the small, authentic moments to emerge and be captured.
Although portraiture captures a fleeting moment of a person, I carefully shoot and edit images so they remain timeless in nature, suited to a wide range of personal and professional needs. I work mostly with sustainable clothing and makeup brands on these shoots, styling classic looks with a contemporary edge that allow both the model and brand to shine through.
I seek to capture people as they are, drawing out the authentic moments that beautifully represent their true sense of self. Through a delicate and skilful approach to shooting and post-processing, I work with sensitivity, avoiding editing techniques that may distort body image perceptions. In this, a pure, unaltered and unconventional standard of beauty manifests organically in a gentle counter to harmful and unrealistic ideals.
Whether shared as a single image or a formed collection, these portraits may speak to a person as a whole, offering a true reflection that allows the individual to appear through the images.
