About Me

I’m a Melbourne-based photographer with a background in commercial photography and a strong interest in editorial, fashion, glamour, and character-driven portraiture.

My work is built around lighting, mood, styling, and attitude. I’m especially drawn to cinematic concepts with a noir edge, confident feminine energy, and images that feel more like a scene than a standard portrait.

I studied at Photographic Studies College, with a focus on commercial photography, and my work has been published internationally in both print and online magazines. I’ve worked with a range of talented models and creatives, from portfolio development through to more styled editorial concepts.

At this stage, my focus on Model Mayhem is personal creative work, portfolio development, and selective collaborations with models who are interested in strong, polished imagery.

Shoot concepts may include fashion, lingerie, glamour, implied nude, artistic nude, or femme fatale-inspired editorial work, always discussed clearly beforehand and always based on mutual comfort and agreed boundaries.

If your style suits this kind of work and you’re interested in creating something with mood, polish, and a bit of bite, feel free to get in touch.

****RETOUCHERS****

I appreciate your inquiries and enjoy looking at your work, however I am not in the market for retouching services and will not accept any friend requests from retouchers at this time.   

If this ever changes in the future, I'll update this section. 

Thank you.
