  • New Website

    I'm excited to have launched my new website in June 2026. Since joining the V&A in 2020, balancing a full-time role with freelance work has left little time to update it, but I was determined to refresh it this year. The new site includes a mounted costume gallery featuring ensembles I've photographed over the past six years. Much of my work at the V&A involves photographing costumes on mannequins, alongside an exceptional team of costume mounters who present each piece beautifully. I've selected one image per ensemble to best showcase its design and distinctive features.

  • New publications

    My latest publication is out! The Music is Black, published by V&A publishing is available to buy from the V&A shop and online. The book accompanies the current exhibition at V&A East Museum which is well worth a visit if you are in London. ISBN 9781838510527
