Two decades of
paying attention.
The short version of a life spent behind and alongside a camera — the people, the places, and the slow work of becoming useful.
The first camera
A borrowed body, a wedding of a family friend, and a suspicion that this was going to be the shape of a life.
A studio begins
The first proper studio — one small room, a rented lens, and a stubborn belief that the work would find the people.
Weddings become a language
A decade of learning condensed into a fluent way of seeing love as it happens. The archive grows, and the first proper team forms.
Smoothie Fridays
A weekly ritual begins — a gathering that would become a long-running thread in the community.
G.O.P Studios
His wife joins him. The studio is renamed, the team grows, and the work finds a new rhythm.
The lens widens
Editorial portraits, commercial work, documentary. The camera turns toward founders, communities, and long-form witness.
The ecosystem forms
A studio becomes a house of studios — an event arm, a growing team, photo book activations, planning, media, consulting, workshops.
A house of studios
Video, Euphoria, Behind the How, films. The house now holds many rooms, each with its own voice and purpose.
Stitching in public
Keynotes, open teaching, and the long work of sharing what was learned in private with the world.
The longer sentence
Institutions built to outlast their founder. The legacy continues.
