It’s been a busy start to 2026 between the studios in Los Angeles and New York, but there’s nothing quite like the energy of the UK industry. I am pleased to announce that I will be returning to London for a very limited run of headshot and portrait sessions from 20th – 25th April.
While my work is held in the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London, my home and craft are firmly planted in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles. This April and May, I am opening my DTLA studio for a select number of portrait commissions and professional workshops.
In a city defined by the temporary, we are focused on the permanent. Whether you are a leader defining an industry or an actor defining a character, your image should be a museum-grade legacy, not a fleeting trend.
