Projects
- Lé Scene“I decided to begin a passion project to show the 60s Scene, sixty years later in the United Kingdom. These fans meet at revival events around the UK, wearing fantastic outfits and dancing all night to Northern Soul, Mod, Garage Beat or Psychedelia. These images were taken in different locations; mainly in Margate at Olbys during the Margate Mod Weekender 2022. My goal with this project was to show that after 60 years the 60s Scene is still alive in the UK.”
- LFF 20/21 Photobook & Zine Live at Wembley 21'LFF 20/21' was documented during the 2020 and 2021 football season.

The music industry itself not only employs a huge amount of people, but is the heart and soul of the London; giving joy to many and bringing people together. Live Music Venues: Paper Dress Vintage, The Lexington, Oslo, Moth Club, Helgi’s, Hackney Empire, The O
- Stokey on Lockdown'Stokey on Lockdown' is a photo project carried out on the streets of Stoke Newington, shot on my daily walks during the lockdown. The collection tells a story of what has happened during the global pandemic; with local businesses shutting shop and our key workers continuing to work hard for others. I wanted to show how the community has become less individualised and become more collective.
