Can you tell us a bit about your creative journey, and how your interest in fashion and beauty photography developed?

I started my journey into fashion and beauty photography when I realised the part I enjoyed most about wedding photography was the individual portraits of people. I loved taking the close-up shots, and loved the outfits, and I knew that this was where I wanted to redirect my interest. So I invested in a studio, fell in love with lighting, and started experimenting from there.
