Golf Photography

I’ve been photographing golf around the world since 2016, developing an approach to the game that sits between sport, fashion, landscape and the culture surrounding it. My work looks beyond traditional golf photography to the people, places and moments around the game, working across commercial campaigns, editorial and documentary projects.
