Photographer, triathlon coach and maker

Photographs, food and long days outside.

I’m a photographer based in southwest France. I work with brands and people around the world, coach endurance athletes, and spend much of my free time cooking, running or riding bikes.

Nice and Serious

The creative agency I co-founded and ran for around 15 years. We worked with organisations and brands on environmental and social issues, making complex subjects easier to understand and act on.

About

A little about me.

I was born in Zimbabwe, grew up in France, studied in the UK and spent several years living and working in the US. These days, home is southwest France, where I live with my family.

Away from work, I’m usually cooking, on a bike or out in the mountains. I’m also a fan of 90s hip-hop.

Based in southwest France, working across Europe, the USA and beyond
