About me
I would say I am someone who has high expectations in my results and confidence in my ability to produce. I am a creative thinker who wants to be judged by individual performance and rewarded for my efforts based on my ability to execute. I am a positive thinker who is consistently growing and takes the time to continue learning even though its not a direct requirement of the job. Modest, hardworking and always setting firm goals for myself. Then. Once I've defined my benchmarks, I take the necessary steps to achieve those milestones. In which every day I work to improve myself and my skills, which is part of becoming better at what I do.
Projects
  • Love or Lust
    Love or LustLove or Lust is a series of portraits of people that are in different types of relationships. The photographs were apart of a book that was constructed and written by myself.
  • Free in the Countryside
    Free in the CountrysideIn London people don't have much access to nature as they would have in the countryside. People have to go out of their way to go for a walk in the park and have some fresh air. When in reality, they would still be bothered by the sounds of the city and the air isn't actually fresh. It is fascinating how relaxing it is for people to go out for a walk down a path captivated by trees and actual fresh air. Free in the Countryside is a project that focuses on what you would see while on a hike in the hills of Church Stretton. The aim of the project is to captivate and free people's minds for just a second, so they can have one moment of bliss before they go back to their busy lives in the city.
  • Getting to know Budapest
    Getting to know BudapestDuring February 2015 I took a small holiday to Budapest. Throughout the trip I decided to photograph where we went and document the trip.
