My Top 5 Photos of 2025



Lookig back at this year just before I moved to London. These are my top 5 photos. (Not in particular order) 

1.  One of my absolute highlights of 2025 was capturing Barbara Palvin Sprouse on the red carpet at the 78th Cannes Film Festival. Having recently transitioned into the London fashion and celebrity scene, being on the Palais des Festivals steps was a career-defining moment. Barbara wore a stunning Miu Miu that perfectly complemented the Mediterranean light. The energy in Cannes is like nowhere else, and this shot really captures the intersection of high fashion and cinema.


2. Back in February, I had the pleasure of photographing the incredible Daisy Jelley just moments before she headed into the Dior Beauty 'Inside Lip Glow' party in London. This shoot was a masterclass in collaboration, brought to life by the stunning artistry of makeup artist Sasha Kilby and the expert touch of celebrity hairstylist Michael Gray. Daisy looked effortless in a crisp white suit, a look that perfectly married London’s streetwear edge with Dior’s timeless elegance. As a London fashion photographer, capturing these 'getting ready' moments is where the real story often lies, and having such a talented creative team behind the scenes made this one of my favorite portraits of the year.



3. Capturing Lewis Gribben during the Black Mirror Season 7 junket in London was a highlight of my editorial year. Lewis stars as the younger Cameron Walker in the unsettling episode 'Plaything', a role that has further solidified him as one of Britain’s most exciting rising actors. For this portrait, we leaned into the dark, dystopian aesthetic of the series. Lewis was impeccably styled by Michael Miller in a sharp Alexander McQueen suit, which provided the perfect structural silhouette for the moody, high contrast lighting of the shot. The combination of McQueen’s legendary tailoring and Lewis's intense character driven energy made this one of my most compelling portraits of 2025.  



4. Shifting from live event coverage to a highly stylized studio environment, this editorial with Victoria Rose Caine was one of the creative highlight of my year. We leaned heavily into a throwback 80s beach vibe aesthetic, utilizing bold, high-contrast lighting to create the iconic shadow patterns. This vision was brought to life by an exceptional creative team: Tiffany Aria provided the impeccable styling and textures, while makeup artist Farnaz Zare and hairstylist Nadia Webber perfectly captured that sun-kissed, retro-chic beauty. To ensure every frame felt dynamic and authentic to the period, Weronika acted as our movement director, guiding Victoria through the cheeky retro poses that elevate this a simple shoot. As I continue to grow within the London fashion scene, projects like this allow me to experiment with nostalgic storytelling and technical lighting mastery.


5. Closing out my top five for 2025 is a definitive editorial feature for Mob Journal starring the incomparable Meika Woolard. This shoot, titled Dual Icons, was an exploration of maximalist - chic elegance, defined by a moody, high-contrast aesthetic that pushes the boundaries of traditional portraiture. To achieve this cinematic look, I worked closely with my assistant Mathias Apap, whose technical precision with the digital workflow and intricate lighting setup allowed us to capture the sharp, dramatic shadows that define the frame.

The visual story was elevated by the bold, structured styling of Tom Pierello, while makeup artist Meera Shah and hairstylist Nadia Webber collaborated to create a massive, gravity-defying bouffant of brunette hair. For me, this project represents the pinnacle of my work this year as a London fashion photographer, blending high-concept creative direction with the raw, magnetic energy of one of the industry's most sought-after faces.
