  Love in LockdownAs an exercise of creativity, I organised a FaceTime shoot with my friend Dia @msdiiddi and her partner. I wanted to show their love in an intimate way despite being countries apart (they’re based in Oslo) and relying on dodgy Wi-Fi. I couldn’t have executed the shoot without the talents of the models and their friend Margrete @margretnetland who held up the backdrop.
• Singer songwriter Joel StewartBefore the second lockdown in London, I did a shoot of Joel Stewart to create images to go along side the promotion of his recent single ‘Lemon and Photographs’. You can see more images on his instagram @joelstewart.music and Spotify.

  FurōFurō was inspired by colourful bold fashion imagery & the charm of movement. This series is in collaboration with stylist Ania Egan. I hadn't done anything remotely close to this, so a big thank you to all involved. The desired result was a collection of images that are colourful, warm and maybe a little feel refreshing.
