I started out photographing things most people walk past — insects, spiders, and plants in a Jamaican backyard, shot close enough that you can see what they actually look like. Macro work teaches you two things fast: how to wait, and how to see what is in front of you before you raise the camera.

Both of those turn out to matter just as much when the subject is a person. A good portrait is not a pose held correctly — it is the half-second after someone stops performing. My job is to be set up, ready, and patient enough to still be there when it happens.

I photograph portraits, events, and commercial work across Jamaica, and I travel for destination bookings. Sessions are planned in advance so the shoot itself is unhurried, and everything is priced up front — you will never get a surprise invoice from me.
