Why do I go on and on about knowing who you are? I do believe it is the foundation of creating and therefore, if you make a living from it, it becomes the foundation of your business. Why are my Workshops about finding purpose, using your own voice and why did I create The Signature Style System?

January has become our South Africa month. It has been for 4 years now. Ever since that first trip where we took off in a car from Johannesburg all across the country - there was definitely a special connection. (If you'd like to dive into our first roadtrip, check out this one and this and also this one right here and that one and number five and finally after 4 weeks: number six).

When you find a few rolls of film laying around at home. You send them in and then you get the scans back and you have no idea what to expect. What a sweet surprise it is to relive moments you completely forgot about. How amazing to be able to remember feelings, smells, colours and people you met and loved. Gosh, my brain is like a giant black hole. What would I do without photographs?

This post is in no way shape or form a great Santorini guide, because I swear, I am the worst travel photographer ever. I get hung up on little details like flowers, animals or shadows on a wall (that could be anywhere really and don't show any part of the country. I mean when was the last time you said: "Uh, those are beautiful italian shadows!") and most times I am too lazy to carry my huge camera around anyway.

You might have read my feelings about this city in previous posts. Well, of all the places in the world I decided to take it slow in New York and only shoot film! Eddy took a few shots on our digital camera but mostly, our memories from this trip are analog.

When you can work with friends, I say do it! Thank you Vienda! We shot these on a beautiful summer evening in Brighton after the first lockdown, tentatively going back to life.

It was a joy to work with Laura Jane Williams again, this time on the new headshot for her latest book, 'The Love Square". We were lucky to have the upper floor of The Hoxton Hotel in Southwark all to ourselves.

I saw Faith behind the bar of my favourite café in London and asked if I could do some test shots with her. Thankfully she said yes! Daylight Studios are my favourite thing to play in. I am grateful to Faith for trusting me to step in front of my lens.

Thank you to Keith Wilson for the interview and Nikon Photo Mag for the publication.

Falling in love with Japan caught me by surprise. Last year in June I was invited to be on the judging panel of the annual Nikon Photo Contest in Japan and it was my first time in this special country.

Had such a fun afternoon walking around Brighton taking these portraits for Molly, meeting her cat

I took these portraits for Pedro while we were both still living in Brighton. He is the talented visionary behind the label Seigfried Collective, a great DJ, connecter and creative.

Quick shoot with Priscilla in my home. We had such beautiful light for this and only twenty minutes and I couldn't love the results more.

It was a pleasure creating new promo images for my friend Stu Larsen. He is going on tour next month, catch him near you if you can!

Still cannot quite believe I am typing this. But it's true! It happened! I got to speak at Photokina on the Nikon stage, as a Nikon Europe Ambassador.

I wanted to know him as a human. As a man. Not just as my Father. He is one of the most important people in my life. We are very close and yet, I knew him mostly as Dad. As a parent. From a daughter's perspective. I wanted to know more.

This photoshoot was so special. I had been following Justyn and his story online for a while. When he asked me to witness his return to the water, the place that has scarred him on the outside as well as the inside - I was so moved.

Sometimes simple is best. This photoshoot with Claire and Jacques was one of my favourites ever. We made these photos in a Daylight Studio in East London. In only 60 minutes might I add.

This photoshoot was a firm favourite. The wonderful Abby booked me to celebrate herself and get some headshots for her upcoming book. Looking at the images, you wouldn't believe that she has never had her photo taken, right?

A while ago I read one of @kaia.ab posts on Instagram about the male gaze and the white female gaze in art, movies, photography, etc. That sparked a conversation between us.

This photoshoot was nothing short of magical. Ilaria asked me to document her season of transformation and rebirth. Somehow, with the weather, the wind and landscape everything came together perfectly.

I had the pleasure of taking a few shots of the amazingly talented Vicky Pasion backstage ahead of her performance at 26 Leake Street. She was nothing short of incredible and I love the photos we created in just 10 minutes.

This photoshoot was one of pure simplicity, conversation and joy, just how I like it best. Kate met me at the beautiful London Locke Hotel where we started taking photos and then walked around the Thames and the Tate Modern to get a few outdoor images as well.

I had the honour of photographing Becca many times. She is my muse, I never get tired of having her in front of my lens, and something about her inspires my creativity every time. We took these photos at Silo in Brighton, at The Ginger Pig and in my home.

This was such a fun portrait shoot with Maureen Bleeker Paal, founder of the Moksicollective. We took these photos around Maureen's home in Brighton and in the streets around her house.

It was a joy to create these images with my friend and incredibly talented photographer Ami from The Woman and The Wolf. She is a sensitive, truthful, powerful soul and I was excited about the briefing for this shoot.

Maria needed branding shots for her business Avant Miller Consulting - but not the boring background, traditional photos you think of when you think 'business headshots'. She wanted something alive, fresh, approachable and modern.

Loved this beautiful co-creation with Claire. These were two different shoots but they belong together. Claire got in touch to create a series about each of the elements and her connection to them. So you'll see more of her here.
