I grew up in a house filled with painted family portraits. History, hanging on the walls.

Today, I create modern heritage with my family photographs that reference the Old Masters. I like the idea of creating a piece of history and I draw on the history of art to create my contemporary interpretations of the artists of the Golden Age.

My philosophy is to create images that stir an emotional response. I’m not interested in the mainstream or trends; instead, I am

dedicated to learning, experimenting and pushing my creative boundaries.

Anyone can do a shoot at a beach… but most can’t set up and capture a great portrait in someone’s home; a portrait that is timeless yet modern, one that endures through the generations.

As an award-winning photographer, I have more than 30 years’ experience and a state-of-the-art studio to bring your family history to life.

My Works

Have you visited the Tate, the Uffizi or the National Portrait Gallery in London?

The works there are spectacular; the brushwork fine, the radiance exquisite. 

However, it’s not until you study the history of art that the paintings really come to life. You learn the stories behind the people in them and understand how the artist’s techniques were ahead of their time.

Such prestigious works of art were commissioned by the wealthy to capture forever their loved ones and family heritage; to present an impressive image of lineage and stature to the world. These priceless paintings meant more to the families who commissioned them than to gallery visitors in the centuries to come.

I share my client’s appreciation for heritage, story, and the graceful art of living and so I produce modern works of art that use techniques perfected by the Old Masters to create unique pieces. Essential to this process is to capture you and your family in your home or other place of family significance.

Imagine commissioning an award-winning studio photographer to capture your own family stories, lineage and narrative with a heritage portrait. Imagine creating a new tradition for generations to come. And imagine what a gift it is to your family, to capture what you treasure most about them in a timeless, quality image.

And finally, imagine visiting your very own art gallery – without leaving your home.
