I am an image maker and content creator producing unique visuals that explore real-life connections & relationships in both commissioned and self-directed projects.
As a multi-hyphenate artist, I often cast, style, photograph, direct and produce all my work, allowing me to focus on personal experience and heritage. My recent work has included a printed publication, editorial photography and an exhibition. Shooting on medium format and developing my images allows me to immerse myself in my process and create intimate outlooks into various narratives through a traditional method.
Aside from personal projects, I create honest and diverse content for fashion brands with marketing skills that forge strong relationships with consumers and make a statement about the now — often casting my family members, friends and people whose voices the industry overlooks.
My work has been nominated for Graduate Fashion Week - Fashion Photography and Culture and Heritage award.

A photographic series on reframing who belongs in our galleries and museums, shooting nine mixed-race individuals and discussing their experience. Despite being the fastest-growing ethnic group in the UK, mixed-race existence is rarely honoured in British art history.
From studying iconic British portraits, I wanted to imitate and embody their regality in my subjects to challenge the traditional idea of what a Brit should look like and show an accurate representation of how diverse Britain has become.
A multi-channel marketing campaign, for the luxury fashion label, aiming to reconnect the brand to the success of their Avant Garde advertising in the 90s. Focusing on real life relationships and collaboration with an emerging artist - @Rovaneche.
A photographic series exploring the harmony between the female nude and nature. The photographs were shot on 120mm and hand developed, allowing me to truly connect with my process and the documented subjects.
The photographs reference female classical sculpture, incorporating specific postures to empower the subject, to oppose the male gaze, which often defines these art pieces. The Semiotics of Woman was featured in a collective exhibition in Bristol.
