About me

As an image-maker, my work often explores themes surrounding identity, the every day, digital, and youth culture. I am inspired on a day to day basis by the people and places I visit. Non-models often feature in the content that I create, which not only documents style but captivates emotions and self-expression, challenging the way we look at others and the world around us. I have always been enticed to use film, whether it be 35mm or 120mm. My work also expands into other areas including art direction, casting, and filmmaking.

• Headshots for TOFE - @topexmodelsBack in 2019, I started my own modelling agency as part of my second-year self directed project at University. In February 2021, I formed a partnership with Contact Models. Alongside my full time job, I spend time after work taking headshots of my models, managing and advising them and looking for new jobs for them. Below is some of my most recent images I took of Tofe.
