Becoming a photographer was a journey, not a destination

My creative journey began at art school, where I developed the artistic foundation that continues to shape my work today.

It was there that I learned to see light, understand composition, appreciate colour, balance, and form, and to notice the details that others often overlook. 

Everything that followed, I taught myself.

Photography became a natural extension of my creativity and, over time, evolved into my profession.

After moving to Scotland, I made Dunbar my home and opened my own florist shop. Wanting to present my flowers in the best possible way, I started photographing my own work, and what began as a practical necessity soon grew into a profession.​​​

​Running my own business gave me something just as valuable as photography itself – an understanding of what it takes to build a brand.

I know how much time, passion, and dedication go into every business, and that experience helps me create images that genuinely support my clients.

My journey later led me into professional property photography, where I developed my skills in photographing interiors and presenting spaces from their best perspective. From there, I continued to refine my own style and expand into commercial photography.

As my business evolved, clients began asking me to photograph food for restaurants and cafés. It opened up a completely new creative direction for me. Combining light, composition, texture, and colour to present every dish in an authentic and appetising way quickly became one of the most rewarding parts of my work, and today it is one of my specialist areas.

Today, my work focuses on food, hospitality, interior, property, product, and brand photography, creating authentic imagery that helps businesses present themselves professionally and build trust with their customers.

As food photography became an increasingly important part of my work, so did food styling.

Over time, my studio naturally evolved into a dedicated Food Prop Room, home to a carefully curated Vintage Props Collection that continues to grow with every new discovery.

That's another chapter of my journey – and one that's still being written.
