Working alongside Vogue and Financial Times contributor Harriet Quick, Eastnor Castle Director Imogen Hervey-Bathurst, Watts 1874 Creative Director Fiona Flint, and CEO Marie-Séverine de Caraman Chimay, I supported Watts 1874’s official collaboration with Eastnor Castle through a press-led design inspiration shoot.


The project resulted in a six-page feature in the Financial Times’ How To Spend It — recognised internally as one of Watts 1874’s most significant press achievements in its 150-year history.

I directed photographers across a curated selection of rooms, shaping imagery that captured the individuality of Eastnor Castle’s interiors and their relevance to Watts 1874’s design archive and forthcoming collections. The press narrative drew on the legacy of the 3rd Earl of Eastnor, whose global travels filled the castle with culturally significant artefacts that informed the collaboration’s storytelling.
