I’m Karl,
a photographer, creative director, and brand strategist.
My work spans photography, brand development, creative direction, and campaign storytelling crafted for brands with depth, purpose, and a desire to stand apart.
I’ve partnered with clients across sport, fashion, lifestyle, and the outdoors, including Finisterre, Holderness & Bourne, Twothirds, Foreign Rider, Watergate Bay, Dunning Golf, and Kudhva.
Alongside this, I run a curated fine art print shop and lead workshops and 1:1 mentoring sessions with creatives around the world.
At the heart of everything I do is a desire to help people and brands express themselves clearly through story, strategy and image.

TRUSTED BY BRANDS
Karl is an exceptional photographer and a huge creative talent. He captured exactly what we needed and was a pleasure to work with. Such a great eye for detail, light, and composition. Looking forward to more projects together soon.
Hugo Tagholm, Oceana
Karl is my go-to for brand photography. He’s easy to collaborate with, always delivers, and truly understands the bigger picture, directing clients toward a visual style that stands out. His images are instantly recognisable, and I recommend him without hesitation.
Seth Rowden
I first featured Karl’s surf photography in 2012 for Club of the Waves. His work stood out as raw, story-driven, and steeped in atmosphere. We later collaborated on branding for the Global Wave Conference, where Karl’s imagery set the visual tone. Beyond the craft, Karl brings genuine passion and is always a pleasure to work with.
