Freelance London based Costumiere and art director.

The difference between fashion and costume is like the difference between fine and applied art. I am floating somewhere in the middle, looking to produce fine art conceptual imagery with a narrative. I am also interested in more traditional shoots to which I can add a twist.

The projects I work on tend to be totally bespoke and odd. If you have such an endeavour in the pipeline or a more traditional shoot which would benefit from such an element, please contact me with details.
I occasionally work TFP if the project is weird and interesting enough, or for a tearsheet, but don't ask unless its off the wall!

Sometimes there is no clear distinction as to where costume makeup and hair blend into each other. For the right project I am willing to produce special items or couture garments.

I am also experienced in photoshop and retouching for imagery which may require it, but I will only use photoshop in an image should the required outcome be impossible without it. I am more than happy to work with photographers who require me to fulfill this part of a collaboration, though my preference is to shoot on film and create in reality.

Serious enquiries by message only please.
