Hi, I’m VICTORIA

I am an EDITORIAL AND COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHER SPECIALISING IN TELLING HUMAN STORIES THROUGH COLOUR & NATURAL LANDSCAPES.

Originally born in the UK to a Costa Rican writer/editor and a Canadian journalist, I fell in love with holding a camera at a young age. I trained at the University of Brighton and started my career working for vintage fashion brands in London. From 2019-2023 I ran my own studio in Manchester, UK working with over 50 freelance clients and then moved to Melbourne where I continued working with a whole host of fantastic brands. As of March 2025 I am back in London and continue to work internationally.

My work is an eternal exploration of the power of colour. I work with a variety of commercial clients to produce bold, eye catching imagery as well as spending time producing personal work that combines my love of travel and storytelling with a keen technical eye. My favourite briefs involve being outside and working with vintage or sustainable styling, but I’m always open to working on something new. I am also deeply passionate about finding ways to bring my heritage into my work as well as bring to light global issues affecting not just my home but that of others too.

If you think we could create something beautiful together, get in touch.

YOU CAN HIRE ME FOR

  • With nearly 10 years experience working with fashion and beauty brands, there is nothing I love more than a busy campaign set. I can take your concept and elevate it to the highest level, or if needed I can provide full production support including pre-production art direction, capture & post-production.

  • I regularly work with new and experienced models to bring a fresh perspective to their portfolios, and I treat every portfolio update with the same creative energy as a large scale campaign to ensure the work we create together really stands out.

  • With experience working in fashion, cosmetics and food I have a wealth of creative ideas for bold still life shots with a luxury feel. I can slot into existing studios and work with clear brand guidelines, or take on a completely blank slate and help you shape your next big launch.

  • The most important imagery for any website. Whatever it is you want to sell, I can provide clean and high quality imagery to make sure your customer sees it in the best possible light.

  • I am an avid traveller and love telling stories from across the globe, if you have a commission or project that may be of interest I’d love to hear from you. I am especially interested in bring attention to areas affected by the rising issues of climate change.
