Meridian Athletics

Project Summary

A direct-to-consumer activewear catalogue shot in hard afternoon daylight against raw cinderblock — a deliberate move off the seamless-white studio look. Garment colour stays true while the location does the branding work.

Head-to-toe fit shot from a low angle, wall and sky framing the silhouette.
Studio

Cobalt Standard

Project Summary

A menswear basics launch built entirely on one cobalt-to-teal gradient sweep: three on-model looks and a matching flat lay, lit with a single large softbox so the whole set cuts together as one campaign.

Film Photography

Nightshift

Project Summary

Low-key film-look portraiture for a heritage label — hard shafts of window light in a blacked-out room, leaning on film-stock simulation to hold real grain and honest colour instead of clean digital polish.

Street Photography

Underpass

Project Summary

A streetwear capsule shot in a concrete underpass on a single white tee — proof that a location, a hard key light and genuine shot variety matter more than wardrobe volume.

Underpass three-quarter turn
