About me
Photography has been a interest of mine since I was around 10 years old. My dad was a professional lighting cameraman and photographer, but he sadly passed as soon as my interest started. I have always been told that I have a natural eye for photography; instinctively knowing the most captivating angles and how certain light plays on what makes a brilliant picture. Since attending Sir John Deanes Sixth Form College, I learned the magic of photoshop, and I haven't stopped the fun of photo-manipulation. Already being a keen artist, I played with make up and descovered my love for portrait photography; creating characters and portraying stories through a single image. I would love to reach my goal of becoming a photographer for high end fashion editorial magazines and promotional product advertisements.
Projects
  • The Face of a Story
    The Face of a StoryOne of the reasons I love traveling is for the people I meet along the way. Each and every single person has their own story to tell, and I believe their faces hold a great deal. Upon discovering these people, I have felt a burning need to capture their anguish, love, sorrow; whatever truth their eyes have captured for so long. This project will never have an end, I want it to carry on for as long as possible.
  • Spontaneous Creativity
    Spontaneous CreativityI have been interested in photography since an early age due to my late fathers' profession. I felt like i needed to follow in his footsteps and decided to pick up the camera. I have stupendous artistic flare from both my parents, and because my mother is a costume designer and body painter, i was really inspired and interested in her work. I decided to merge both my parents' incredible talents together to creative my own individual art. Most of these pieces were created during my time in between jobs, where my creativity needed to be expressed.
