Portfolio
The work
For brokers & shipyards
Three briefs, three shoots
A yacht is photographed to be launched, sold or chartered. Each brief needs a different eye.
Brokerage
Sell the yacht
Lines, finish, condition and systems, shown honestly and at their best, so the listing earns the viewing.
Charter
Sell the week
Comfort, crew, toys and life on board, shot at dawn and dusk for the images that make guests book.
Selected frames
On the water
Ten frames: running, at anchor, from the air, on board and below the surface.

On board
I work alone, without assistants. On yachts over 80 metres, with the owners on board, they hardly noticed I was there.
