FAQs

  • A question I’ve received many times over, and I love it. The name came once I found the vision for what I wanted to portray. The Honest Collections is exactly that, an honest collection of beautiful imagery showing the authentic emotions within a moment whilst capturing the essence of you.

  • My shooting style reflects your heart, capturing the essence of you, your brand, your vision and mission; it also reflects those candid moments shared between you and your loved one(s) and I have the eye to see things that commonly go a miss. My understanding and use of natural lighting gives your images more of an earthy feel to them.

  • Great question! I'd say 65% (I made this number up, and I am also bad at math) of the way my photos look comes down to the way I edit my photos. In addition to that, each photo receives basic colour correction, cropping, adjustment for lighting etc. The remainder is how I capture them, which is largely due to how I see you and let me tell you something now, there is so much beauty and strength within you that is waiting to be embraced. That the essence of you will be what is reflected so beautifully through the images captured.
