About
I am a documentary photographer and director based in the UK, my personal work is about capturing the stories of subcultures. Over the last few years, I’ve focused on photographing and exploring various subcultures, delving into the experiences that exist outside the mainstream. My work is driven by a desire to understand and document the nuances of these cultures and communities and provide the most accurate representation of them to the wider audience.
In addition to photography, I’ve been expanding my role within production by getting involved in producing, which has given me a deeper understanding of the storytelling process. I’ve also developed my skills as a director, creating video content that complements my still images and allows me to bring my subjects to life in new ways. I enjoy experimenting with graphic design, particularly collages and typography, blending my love for photography with design. Through these different mediums and roles, I aim to push the boundaries of storytelling and express the narratives that inspire me.
