Long Time No See... A Quick Catch-Up
Howdy, I hope you're all having a lovely start to the year! It’s been a minute, hasn’t it? Last year truly got the better of me, and the end of 2024 turned out to be unexpectedly busy. So much so that my beloved newsletter had to take a little break. But now, I’m back and I’m so excited to reconnect with you all!
To be honest, 2024 was a bit of a rollercoaster—full of unexpected twists and turns. But, through all the chaos, I’m incredibly grateful for the amazing people I had the privilege of working with, and for everyone who kept me going. One of the highlights of last year (and what I’m most excited to share) is that I was able to kick off We Move, a personal project I’m incredibly passionate about. It’s been such a rewarding journey, and I’ll be continuing to work on it over the next few months. I can’t wait to share more as it grows and evolves!
On a personal note, I’ve got some fantastic news to share… I bought my first home! 🏡 Yes, you read that right! I’ve officially settled into a beautiful place in Finsbury Park with my partner, and I’m beyond excited to finally set up my living room into the creative studio space I’ve always dreamed of. It’s such an exciting chapter, and I can’t wait to bring this vision to life.
For those of you who’ve been following me on social media, you’ve probably seen more of what I’ve been up to. But for those who haven’t—or are getting lost in the algorithm—I’ve put together a quick recap of what’s been happening over the past few months:

EMPIRE MAGAZINE: Andor Season 2 Cover Story (2025) I can finally share a project that’s been close to my heart for nearly nine months—working on Andor Season 2 at Pinewood Studios with Lucasfilm and Disney! As a Portrait Gallery Photographer and 2nd Unit Stills Photographer, I had the chance to work with some truly talented individuals. This project has been one of the most rewarding of my career so far, and I’m so proud to see my image of Genevieve O'Reilly as Mon Mothma, featured in Empire Magazine (January 2025 issue).

Personal Project Update: We Move
A quick update on We Move, my ongoing personal project exploring the powerful connection between dance and mental health. Through this series, I’m delving into how movement can heal, empower, and express emotions that might otherwise go unsaid. More updates coming soon!

Published Portrait: Julia Hoggett for Fortune Magazine It was such a privilege to shoot the portrait of Julia Hoggett, CEO of the London Stock Exchange, for Fortune Magazine’s feature on the Top 25 LGBTQ+ CEOs in the world. A high-stakes, fast-paced shoot that I was honoured to be a part of.
