Title: The Fencer
Location: Kingsize Studios, Auckland, New Zealand. "This is a part of an ongoing personal series, in which I look into capturing different sports and their movements.
I was so taken with the sport of fencing, how elegant and regal it is in its movement. I also love the anonymity of the mask; there is something so intriguing about not being able to see the opponent’s face, which puts more focus put on the fencer’s form and stature."

Title: Ollie
Location: Brick Lane Station Park, London. "I’ve been thinking about the environment a lot and wanted to shoot a series of images that touch on the subject of rewilding. As if the sitter has created their own personal wild space.
I was introduced to Ollie through a friend and thought he would be really great for this portrait. We tried to keep the shoot as environmentally friendly as possible. The flowers were a mixture of real and artificial. We hired all the artificial flowers from a company that specialises in supplying plants and foliage to the film industry and live events. The real flowers at the end of the day were given to crew members so they could take them home and enjoy them."

Title: Real Magic with Mo+Th
Location: Cape Town. "The shot was part of a social media campaign for Coca-Cola, an excellent reminder that the most captivating stories are often the ones that unfold naturally, reflecting real life and human experience.
During each project, my primary goal is to uncover a narrative that is both unexpected and authentic. I seek to go beyond the confines of the script, allowing the moments to happen, capturing the raw and genuine emotions of the subjects in their true essence. For this approach, clients need to place their trust and take risks, the only way of reaching new limits. This mostly will be rewarded by stories far more compelling than any preconceived ideas, revealing the unscripted beauty of life itself."

Title: Woad
"Lets call the image ‘Woad’ as that’s the name of the blue paint on the door... and takes its name from the most important natural blue dye known to man: first used by the Celts, apparently!
I shot the image in a lovely outhouse bedroom in Langebaan, Western Cape, South Africa. So it’s a rustic stone bedroom with latte roof and latch/brace door.
I shot it for Little Greene (door colour ‘woad’; stone wall colour 'linen wash’), it was styled by Sally Denning, with location by Perfect Hideaways and lit with Elinchrom flash due to failing natural sunlight!"

Title: The bold
Location: Cape Town, South Africa. "Me and my team, model Nondi as well as hair & make-up artist Claudine Németh, went to the beach on a bright and sunny afternoon to create different beauty looks.
The goal of the shoot was to highlight each make-up look with some shiny light effects to make the colors pop and really stand out from the rest of the image. So we played around with different mirrors and sunlight to get that desired effect on Nondi's skin."

Title: Vida Breakthrough
Location: West Gate Tunnel Site - Melbourne, Australia. "I was originally positioned at the front of the pack to get the shot of the actual breakthrough which was spectacular. Not being satisfied that it gave a sense of scale - considering Vida’s almost 16m width, I walked back 150m and used my 200 lens to try and compress the image which I think has given an extremely effective result.
This is the largest ever tunnel boring machine breakthrough in the Southern Hemisphere."
