Lumenova® is shaped by two ideas: light and discovery.
Light gives a portrait its form, atmosphere and character. But it can also reveal something less obvious — a strength, expression or presence you may not usually notice in yourself.
That element of discovery is central to what happens here. And it's a fun, joyful and empowering process in a space that is held just for you. You can try different looks, personas and moods - bringing to light and realising aspects of yourself that may have been a tiny voice or whisper until now.
My work draws from editorial, fashion and commercial portraiture:
I use strong composition, expressive light, elegant styling, and the quiet confidence of someone who feels at ease in front of the camera.
I'm equally interested in what makes a portrait feel human and those brief moments when someone stops 'performing' and becomes present.
The portraits I'm drawn to are refined and expressive, but also recognisably real at their centre.
