London commercial photographer. Motorsport, automotive, aviation, corporate portraits, live music and fashion — for brands, teams and agencies worldwide. ABOUT AEMILIA I am a London-based commercial photographer who works worldwide. My field is motorsport, automotive culture and aviation: cars, planes, racing, the kinds of moments that vanish if nobody captures them. My portrait work has been exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery in London and published through Spacesuit Media, Autosport and F1 Journal. Commissions have included Formula E, Extreme H, the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court, Nicholas Mee Aston Martin, Porsche, Vertere Acoustics, HQ Aviation and the 2026 Subaru Winter Experience. I shoot on commission for Spacesuit Media, the agency behind the photography for Formula E, Extreme E and Extreme H. I live in the studio, but there is no better backdrop for me than somewhere new. My work has taken me to Miami, Monaco, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Tokyo and the frozen lakes of Wisconsin. I also take a close interest in the businesses I work with. What I try to bring is not just the picture but an understanding of what a client is working towards and where the gaps are. Some of my most rewarding projects have grown out of introductions and collaborations rather than briefs. I hold a BA (Hons) in Commercial Photography from the University of the Arts London.

The first FIA hydrogen powered race VIDEO

Corporate headshots and leadership portraits, a full team in a day, shot to one consistent treatment. Clients include Deel and Absorb. London and worldwide. CORPORATE AND PORTRAIT Portraits of people at work — headshots, leadership portraits and editorial portraiture, for companies including Deel, Absorb and On-the-Market. A headshot is now the first thing most people see of a colleague or a supplier, so it is worth more than fifteen minutes against a white wall. I bring studio lighting, I direct people who do not enjoy being photographed, and I work at pace — a full team in a day, shot to one treatment, so a company looks like one company wherever its people sit. My portrait work was exhibited at the Photographic Portrait Prize, National Portrait Gallery, in 2024. I travel to your offices, wherever they are.

Automotive and aviation photography for manufacturers, specialists and private collections — Porsche, Aston Martin, Concours of Elegance. Studio and location. AUTOMOTIVE Cars photographed as objects rather than as events. Studio, location and detail work for manufacturers, specialists, restorers and private owners — Porsche, Aston Martin through Nicholas Mee & Co, the Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace. An automotive shoot is an exercise in controlling light on a surface designed to reflect it. I shoot for form first: the line of a wing, the way a paint reacts at dusk, the detail a designer spent a year on. Aviation work asks the same discipline, and I photograph for HQ Aviation. Campaigns, launches, catalogues and private commissions. London based, available worldwide.

Motorsport photographer covering Formula E, Extreme H, British GT and historic racing. FIA accredited. Seasons, single rounds and test days. London based. MOTORSPORT I have photographed Formula E since Season 10 — Monaco, London, Tokyo, Miami — for the championship itself and for teams, most recently Penske. Beyond the series: Extreme E and Extreme H in Saudi Arabia, British GT, GT Cup, Formula 4 at Yas Marina, Goodwood Festival of Speed, Silverstone with the VSCC and Equipe Classic, and ice driving in Wisconsin. Motorsport photography is not only the car at the apex. It is the garage at six in the morning, the driver in the moment before the visor comes down, and the people who make the weekend happen. FIA accredited. I shoot on commission for Spacesuit Media, who cover Formula E, Extreme E and Extreme H.A season, a single round or a test day. London based, available worldwide.

Fashion and editorial photography, studio and location, including Rare Shades at Wildflower Studios, New York for 000 Magazine. Lookbooks and campaigns. FASHION AND EDITORIAL Fashion and editorial photography, studio and location — including Rare Shades, shot at Wildflower Studios in New York for 000 Magazine. I came to fashion from motorsport and it shows: I light for shape, I shoot fast, and I am comfortable when a location refuses to behave. The work runs from clean studio product through to editorial where the clothes are the least interesting thing in the frame. BA (Hons) Commercial Photography, London College of Communication, UAL. Lookbooks, campaigns, editorial and brand work. London based, available worldwide.
