About

I am a freelance photographer with a passion for visual storytelling, branding, and creating high-quality, engaging content. I hold a Bachelor’s with Honours in Photography from The University of Edinburgh, where I developed strong technical and creative skills across photography, lighting, and visual problem-solving. My personal branding work is particularly centred around brands and individuals within the health and wellness space, combining my creative practice with my broader interest in health, wellbeing, and lifestyle. Alongside my creative work, I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Physiotherapy as I begin my journey into the healthcare field. I have a long-standing interest in health, exercise, and supporting individuals in improving their overall physical wellbeing, and I am motivated to build a career in a patient-centred, evidence-based environment. I continue to work with a range of clients on a freelance basis, capturing portraits, events, and brand-focused content, while also developing my understanding and experience within healthcare settings. I value continuous learning and enjoy developing skills across both creative and clinical disciplines, with a focus on meaningful, people-centred work.
