About me

I'm a visual creator with a career built at the intersection of artistry and evolving technology.

From my beginnings in black-and-white film and darkroom printing, through digital photography, motion graphics, compositing, and VFX, each stage of my journey has been driven by curiosity and a desire to push creative boundaries.

During lockdown, I deepened my practice by learning 3D design and animation — expanding my visual language even further. Now, I'm exploring how Machine Learning can open new possibilities in fashion imagery.

I've trained a system using thousands of images from my archive — combining them with 3D assets to generate compelling, custom visuals. This process allows me to create imagery that supports marketing, editorial, and concept development — either on its own or as a complement to traditional photography.

My goal isn't to replace the camera, but to expand what's possible with it — offering brands and creatives more tools for storytelling, iteration, and innovation in fashion visualisation.

If you're interested in exploring new visual directions or want to discuss how this approach could support your next project, let's connect.
