A grateful Optimist

19 years ago I walked away from investment banking to build a new life as a photographer + filmmaker.

Since then I’ve worked with Olympic champions, Hollywood talent, and global brands in 20+ countries.

So many mind blowing highs - with some pretty special stories to share. But alongside that, I’m equally grateful for all the lessons the setbacks have taught me. I’ve grown as much (if not more) from these experiences.

That’s why I’m launching A Grateful Optimist — a bi-weekly newsletter where I’ll share short stories + practical lessons from these 18 years (and counting) behind the lens.

My hope is that you’ll be able to take something from these experiences—whether you’re leading a business, building a career, or navigating your own challenges—and apply it in your own world.

It’s not about photography. It’s about peak performance under pressure, creativity and purpose.

First issue drops on the 23rd October (featuring a story about Hugh Jackman in full Wolverine mode 🐺).
