Erin for Flowst8 Yoga Studio
A portrait series exploring strength, balance, and presence. Shot for Flowst8 Yoga Studio, this collection captures Erin in motion — each pose illuminated by soft, natural light cutting through the studio’s moody shadows. The contrast between light and texture reflects the calm intensity of yoga itself — a quiet focus within movement.

Short Film: Loved By A Labrador
This short film tells the story of a beautiful bond between a resuce dog and his owner. Shot, produced and acted by one person (and a dog) during the COVID-19 Isolation.

A creative experiment shot entirely at home — a commercial-style “How To” film featuring the timeless Old Fashioned. Guided by the rhythm of the music, each frame was built around light, motion, and sound. Filmed solo on my dining table, it was a test of patience, timing, and creativity — rewarded, of course, with a well-earned drink.
