Hello, I'm Kelly

Photography has been a quiet passion of mine since I was a teenager, long before I knew what to do with it. I spent six years building a career as an interior designer in Dubai,

and I was good at it. But it took stepping fully into the industry to realise that the passion I'd carried since those early years, was the thing I was actually meant to be doing.

So during the pandemic, I began teaching myself photography properly, shooting on weekends while still working in design through the week. A year later, I went freelance

full-time, and Tooze Studio & Co eventually became a fully licensed

photography business in the UAE.

My design background was mostly in retail, F&B, and hospitality; high-pressure, detail-obsessed environments where every material and finish had to earn its place. That instinct hasn't left me. I don't just capture a room; I understand the thinking, the constraints, and the effort behind why it looks the way it does.

Today, Tooze Studio works almost entirely through word of mouth, built on relationships with the same designers, suppliers and consultants I once worked alongside.

I'm detail-oriented, honest about what a space needs, and I aim to capture not just

how a room looks, but what it took to create it.
