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.
