"I believe the best photos happen when you forget the camera is there."

I am an editorial storytelling photographer based in Southampton. My work blends documentary authenticity with a bold, magazine-style approach. I work quietly and instinctively, blending into your story so you can live it fully. The result is imagery that feels honest, unhurried, and unmistakably yours.

Whether it is a wedding day unfolding in Hampshire, a family afternoon in the New Forest, or a brand campaign for your Southampton business, those fleeting seconds deserve to last forever.

“We recently hired Nelson from Shacoworkshop to take some photos of my family in celebration of my parents golden wedding anniversary. We were incredibly happy with the results and would highly recommend Nelson’s services! Nelson came to our home and took a series of photos in our house and garden, putting us at ease and making suggestions for nice compositions. He also had a great touch with my toddler son! The photos he produced captured some really lovely moments and will hold special memories for us in years to come :)”

The Person
Behind the Lens

With over 15 years behind the lens, I have learned that the best photographs are not posed -- they are felt. Based in Southampton, I bring a storytelling approach to every session, capturing the moments between the moments.

From my roots in Hong Kong to finding a home on the south coast of England, my journey has taught me to see beauty in the everyday and meaning in the fleeting.
