I'm most useful at the start of a project, when there's still room to shape what it becomes. Most commissions sit at the intersection of photography, film and art direction — for hotel groups, design houses and brands building something considered.

I didn't come to this work through art school. I came at it sideways, through fifteen years of grassroots, self-initiated projects — founding platforms, launching brands, painting murals, opening cafés, publishing books. I think like a founder when I photograph for one, and I understand the commercial reality behind every brand I work with.

Drawn to design-led brands and people doing meaningful work — businesses making the world a slightly better place, and using creative work to tell those stories well rather than to perform them.

Most of my time goes into commercial commissions — photography and film for hotels, restaurants, hospitality brands, design houses, interior and homeware labels, product launches and founder-led businesses.

Alongside that, I run Compendia — a design-led editorial platform producing cinematic city guides and long-form brand partnership content across the UK and Europe. Compendia is where the editorial work lives, and where I bring commercial partners into published editorial features when the fit is right.

Many brands move into an ongoing content partnership after their first project. If you're a hotel group, destination or brand looking for a regular creative partner across the year, ask about a bespoke retainer arrangement.

I've opened a small wedding and couples line for 2026, taking a limited number of commissions each year.

Digital and 35mm film delivered together. An editorial approach — a calmer presence on the day, a documentary eye, and pictures that look like they belong in a magazine rather than a wedding catalogue. Everything is included: film stock, processing, scanning, every edited photo, no image limits.

Alongside the commercial work, my interdisciplinary art practice lives at Samu Studio — rooted in mindfulness, across four pillars: Art, Design, Sound and Movement.

Samu Studio is where the slower, more personal work happens. Less commercially driven, but open to partnerships and commissions where the fit feels right.
