I’m a candid photographer documenting queer spaces as they actually feel: unposed, consent-first, and lit by whatever the room gives me.

    Wildlife Conservation & Media

    Began in France capturing photo and video for a wildlife non-profit. Tracking elusive animals honed the silent anticipation, patience and rapid reaction times essential for this work.

    Action & Sports Coverage

    Stepped into high-energy resort event coverage in France, mastering erratic lighting, high-speed movement and dynamic action in unpredictable conditions.

  3. 03

    Queer Scene & Portraiture

    Moved into expressive portraiture and alternative community spaces with West Oz Leather, developing ambient workflows for dark venues, tactile textures and candid intimacy.

  4. 04

    Subculture & Bespoke Events

    Expanded across underground scenes, festivals and private bookings, delivering unobtrusive, consent-first roaming photography with signature atmosphere.
