When Theo (Hayes) Claveles, a NYC-based opera singer, reached out while in London for the summer, they knew exactly what they wanted from their headshot session — portraits that celebrated their queerness, individuality, and artistic presence in a field that often emphasizes tradition.


With the mocha backdrop setting the tone, we leaned into dramatic, edgy vibes that highlighted Theo’s tattoos, haircut, and style. Their confidence and authenticity made this session such a creative high for me.


These are the kinds of shoots I live for — where personality, style, and story come through in every frame.
