His background is in advertising, but his thinking is editorial. That combination is what makes his work recognisable; images that are graphic and considered, but never sterile. There's always something physical in them. A tension. A choice that wasn't the safe one.
He directs film, campaigns, shoots portraits and still life, and often gets pulled into creative direction when a project needs it. Use of colour, bold composition and storytelling are constants across all of it.
Approach him early. It makes a difference.
