about.

I don’t just document performance – I come from it.
Before I became a photographer, I was a professional football player.
Competing at that level shaped how I see people, pressure and identity. Sport taught me what it means to push past limits, to lead with emotion, to turn belief into impact. Today, that experience defines my visual language.

My approach
I create images that don’t simply show action – they reveal what drives it.
My photography blends authenticity and cinematic intensity to make identity and emotion visible. Whether I'm working with a brand, an athlete or a creative entrepreneur, my goal is not to capture the moment, but the meaning behind it.

What I deliver
Clients work with me because they want visuals with presence.
Not content – resonance.
Not decoration – identity.

My background in elite sport allows me to connect with talent on a deeper level, to understand mindset and motivation from within. This results in imagery that is powerful, human and emotionally intelligent.

In short:

I don’t take photographs.
I translate performance, character and brand values into visual experiences that stay with the viewer.

Let’s build a visual identity that performs.
