the most beautiful journey across the japanese sea to capture the unique beauty of ento and the oki islands unesco global geopark

Maana Homes

more unfolding soon

light moves gently across architectural residences and the landscapes that surround them, revealing the subtle textures of material and the quiet character of each space. through photography and stillness videography, i capture the rhythm of day and the interplay of wind, water, and our stunning natural world — the elemental presence of the oki islands geo park shaping both architecture and memory.

my love and appreciation for japan — its landscapes, craftsmanship, and thoughtful design — infuses every project, guiding me to notice the smallest details and the poetry in each space and moment. i remain open to future work in japan and beyond, where architecture, landscape, and stillness converge to reveal their unique beauty.

Santa Clara 1728 by Silent Living

stepping into santa clara 1728 feels like walking into a love letter composed in stone and light. the residence waltzes between the past and present —— a testament to local craftsmanship and materials, where every detail speaks of tradition and care.

Cabanas no Rio by Silent Living

as we sit by the water at cabanas no rio, capturing the quiet rhythm of life, the wind sweeps through the tall grasses, and the rhythmic ebb and flow of the tide brings a sense of calm, echoing the slower pace of time here.

the cabanas no rio, santa clara, and casa modesta offer spaces of quiet living, where light, material, and stillness shape the day. through photography and stillness videography, i capture the subtle details and rhythms that reveal the spirit of each home. just a short flight from morocco, portugal has become a place i love to return to for work — a landscape and lifestyle that inspires reflection, attentiveness, and quiet storytelling.

Leopold Banchini Architect’s Marrakech Residence

there are special residences that rise from the land not as structures, but as extensions of it.
born of soil, straw, and sunlight. leopold banchini’s private architectural family residence just beyond marrakech is one of these. a home that does not stand on the earth, but with it.
 

Moun Marrakech by Youssef Belkaid

this is architecture that listens. built from rammed earth, the walls hold the memory of the ground they came from—cool, textured, deeply human. every detail feels considered, shaped by patience. by care.. it is a special project grounded in love and belief in place, in craft, in the quiet power of making something honest and meaningful.

Riad Berbère

a silent sanctuary inside an eighteenth century riad with exquisite attention to every fine detail —- where food and art sit together

Riad Forty Two

a poetically sincere architectural riad.

she feels like the most beautiful notes of a melody — the loveliest words in any language.

Riad Muarid

a beautifully-designed architectural riad —- a fruiting banana tree is grounded in the heart of a central courtyard.

living in morocco, a place of endless inspiration and deep appreciation for architecture and way of life, i am drawn to the quiet beauty of riads and architectural residences. light moves through courtyards, walls hold stories, and every detail is considered with care. through photography and stillness videography, i capture the texture, rhythm, and life that quietly unfolds within these spaces — moments to inhabit slowly and translate into imagery that feels intimate and enduring.

a japanese inspired residence — intertwined with surrounding yaegl loved lands

Ground House

nestled into bundjalung country — she has a beautifully gentle presence

Le Viti Farmhouse

a sanctuary of quiet elegance, where every detail invites rest and reflection, designed for the finest of gatherings - intimate soirées, enchanting evenings under the stars —- every aspect speaks to a life well-lived and moments of true luxury.

Le Viti Barn

an intimate and luxury residence —- a space for presence. a place for dreaming

light moves gently through each residence, shaping surfaces, textures, and the quiet rhythms of space. each home, whether nestled in bundjalung country, intertwined with yaegl loved lands, or resting under expansive skies, carries a deep connection to the lands its owners hold dear. through photography and stillness videography, i document the feeling, materials, and subtle details that reveal the essence of each place and its relationship to the land.

future projects in australia are warmly welcomed, aligned with my travels home, where small residences, intimate gatherings, and architectural moments can be captured with care, attention, and poetry.


gail sorronda’s chromophobia runway was a day of movement, light, and design. through photography and stillness videography, i captured the beauty and elegance of gail’s garments, the rhythm of the runway, and the moments that unfolded before and after the show, allowing the energy and poetry of her newest chromophobia collection to breathe.

i look forward to future runway projects that unfold with care and presence, where fashion, movement, and imagery meet naturally, and the work emerges from attention, patience, and shared intention.

Artist Holly Terry

a playful, collaborative duet —- on the sands of the sea

Artist Andrew Saito

kyoto based ceramic artists - newest series - unfolding soon

each campaign or small collection is approached as a quiet collaboration — a meeting of hands, light, and intention. i work closely with makers, artisans, and creators, guiding imagery and creative direction to translate their vision into a narrative that honours process, material, and atmosphere. through photography and stillness videography, each project is held with care, attentive to rhythm, light, and the poetry of place.

these works invite openness, trust, and collaboration, creating space for ideas to unfold naturally. i remain open to future projects where creative direction and storytelling are approached with patience, sensitivity, and a shared commitment to crafting imagery that feels thoughtful, authentic, and enduring.


experiences portfolio.

Maana Homes, Culinary Retreat

each day unfolded as an invitation to step beyond the ordinary—into serene farmsteads, artisan workshops, and the heart of japanese culinary culture —- every moment felt like a quiet lesson in intention and care.

Maana Homes, Architecture Retreat

through my lens, i sought to capture the essence of this retreat — a quiet, thoughtful immersion into the soul of japanese design, where every material, every line, every shadow carries the weight of intention.

Maana Homes, Tea Harvest Retreat

i stepped quietly into a world where everything moves with intention. into a space that feels hushed, held by stillness, yet alive with the most precious details —— the slow rhythm of a wise tea house aligning so beautifully with the ritual at hand.

Maana Homes, Pottery Retreat

drawn gently into a space where earth meets hand —— where time slows to the rhythm of the wheel, and silence is shaped into form. the air held the scent of clay and woodsmoke, each gesture guided by something older than words. here, in the stillness, creation became a kind of remembering.

each project unfolds like a quiet conversation — a space to listen, observe, and move slowly with intention. through photography and videography, i respond to the subtle rhythms of place, light, and ritual, allowing moments to reveal themselves gently. every experience is held with care, attuned to what is present, and approached as a collaboration — a meeting of attention, curiosity, and respect.

these special projects invite openness, patience, and a shared love for seeing deeply, whether grounded in architecture, craft, landscape, or the quiet poetry of daily life.

Yaegl Country

sea grass woven in sand — a delicate series

my artist in residence experiences offered a rare and generous space to slow down — a time to observe closely and work in quiet response to place. through photography and stillness videography, the days unfolded slowly, guided by light, rhythm, and atmosphere. it was an honour to document the subtle life and poetry of space and architecture, allowing moments to reveal themselves without force or expectation.

with deep gratitude for this time, i remain open to future residencies that value sensitivity, slowness, and creative trust — spaces where photography and moving image can be explored alongside my evolving practices, including the gentle, tactile process of flower pressing.
