chemicals: exploring Demeter Bio's PFAS-free future

With PFAS regulations starting to tighten across Europe, brands are racing to find alternatives that can deliver the performance without persistence. Not only is London-based Demeter Bio's answer PFAS-free, but it also avoids microplastics entirely. It repels water, oil and up to 50% isopropanol.

To signal their move from lab to pilot, we created a set of documentary shots to showcase their people and processes to prospective clients and investors – as well as (unexpectedly the week after the shoot) press opportunities. Good timing and mission accomplished.

SS26 // DOCUMENTARY

Beautiful things happen when you go to market. Quite literally.

Forget next day delivery and questionable quality. The local market scene is a wholesome throwback to fresh produce, local artisans and community spirit. And with a focus on organic, two-ingredient, locally sourced cheeses, it's where Posh Cheese has made its mark over the years.

Now under new management, Posh Cheese/Graze by Posh Cheese are on a mission to inspire the nation to shop local, while continuing to scale their digital offering. And I'm brie-ond excited to be part of their journey. Brand + Documentary Photography + Product Photography (coming soon).

Outperforms PET, reycles with paper. Goodbye plastic sachets. You will not be missed.

After five years in development, 2026 saw Bristol-based Kelpi launch partnerships with some of the leading names in the luxury packaging market (L'Oréal, Diageo and Amcor) to grow their offering of seaweed-based plastic sachet alternatives.

Prototype no more, we worked on a set of images, brand updates and sales materials to signal a clear shift: Kelpi has officially moved from R&D to scale.

Wildlife, industry and acclimatising to strong rum: field notes from Grenada

Why do plastic bowls exist when the callabash quite literally grows on trees? Speaking to the locals, that old idiom of the businessman and the fisherman has never rung more true.

Humans living in harmony with the wildlife and each other. Island industries thriving. And not a Costa Coffee in sight. Paradise? Or was it just the 70% rum talking?

Experiencing awe first-hand: field notes from the Alps

You can't really capture the vastness of a landscape without a human for scale. And I'd be lying if I said experiencing this first-hand had nothing to do with the hard career pivot that I took at the start of 2026.

It's true; awe is inspiring. And if I can help share that sentiment with others to help improve the lives of people living in our world today, well. That seems like a no-brainer.
