About me

I am London based photographer and director. I believe my technical knowledge and creative thinking enables me to transform ideas into creative projects. I have worked with brands such as Nike, Beats By Dre, Timothy Everest, Kurt Geiger, Fred Perry and Carvela as well as magazines including Boys By Girls, Soccor Bible, Notion Magazine, Gay Times, Client Magazine, etc. In the recent years, I've been shortlisted as one of the finalists for British Portrait Award (BJP) and I've also won Fujifilm Photographer of the Year (Curators Choice Award).
