I am a newly graduated student of Photography from the University of the Arts London (LCC), awarded with a First Class Honours. I am a creative, friendly, and enthusiatic person to work with, and thoroughly enjoy working within creative teams. Additionally, I am a very detail-orientated, organised and focused worker, therefore excel when tasked with independant projects. I am excited about all things photography, particularly in roles where I am given more creative liberties. I also seek community engagement and social action where possible within my work - passionate about issues affecting queer communities, social equality, and environmental issues. I believe moving conscientiously and with understanding towards others is key to successful teamwork and authentic, successful work outputs.
My personal photographic work spans documentary and art photography, often focusing on portraiture. Published three times by the British Journal of Photography before age 20, my work shows a long standing commitment to working immersively and conscientiously with communities in their spaces to document an under-exposed culture and performances of self, often with a view to challenge pervasive cultural norms and perspectives.
Special interest in photography work - I specialize in film/analogue photography, but am of course trained and comfortable with digital too! Enthusiascial about all things photography, but particularly photojournalism-related or work in Photographic Darkrooms.
