ABOUT

Hi, I'm Elaine.

I've always been interested in how things look.

But probably even more in why some things just feel right.

I'm a photographer and interior designer based in South East London and I also work across graphic and brand design for small businesses and creative projects.​

I haven't taken a particularly straight route to getting here. I started my career in marketing and communications, working with brands, ideas and audiences, but I was always drawn towards the making part.


Photography had always been there. So had interiors, colour, design, magazines, typography and the endless need to move things around until they felt right.

 

Eventually I stopped trying to make those things fit into separate boxes. I trained in interior design, built my photography work and started taking on more design projects too.


Now I work with people, spaces and independent businesses across all three.

​How I work

If you've met me already, you'll know that I'm a details person. ​I'll notice the light falling across a room, the tiny thing that makes a layout feel wrong or catch an expression that lasts half a second. The smallest details are often the things that make something memorable. That’s the part I love.

I love things with character and meaning, where there's a story behind them. Whether I'm photographing a person, capturing an interior, designing something for a business or helping shape a space, I want the finished result to feel like a better version of what was already there.

When I'm not photographing or designing, I'm probably rearranging something that didn't need rearranging, convincing myself that one more edit will make it perfect, meeting friends or being roundly ignored by my two teenagers.
