- Creativity x Sustainability x CommunityWhen asked about their diamond-patterned staircase, @raeburn_design responded by opening their doors to all. Soon after however, their store was robbed. An unsurprising crime given these uncertain times, but one that hit home hard for me as a 20-year Hackney resident. If these walls could talk, they'd say "we've been on this inner-city Hackney strip for near 10 years now". Yet sometimes doing the time means you'll be a victim to crime. In response to this, I wanted to unify a collection of Hack

- WRITER: Boots Riley’s Career Is The Blueprint For ArtivismI have followed the work of Boots Riley as a kid, a truly inspirational rapper. In this article, we look into his work as an activist and film director because as he well knows, stories have an impact -- they can incite change https://medium.com/@WordsFromGoke/boots-rileys-career-is-the-blueprint-for-artivism-9b11c46952f
- PHOTOGRAPHER: A Shore PlaceFeeling inspired by a Ronan McKenzie shoot, I wanted to show the subject as lost in a sea0-of-green. With garments courtesy of AYM-Studio creating an elegant silhouette, and a shooting kit courtesy of the Pentax MV1 with 28-105mm zoom, we were able to combine sophistication with a vintage aesthetic. I also wanted to create an overwhelming feeling, so I purposely oversaturated the colours to exacerbate the effects of the mighty sun. Location: Shore Place, Hackney Model: Anna Chetwynd-Staplyton C

- Can the Female Gaze Empower?Tinted wanted branding that reflected their inclusivity and playfulness. The combination of two typefaces, RANDOM and Inter, represented, crucially, the diversity which was at the core of the brand, and positioned Tinted as a bold and energetic force. ‘Can The Female Gaze Empower?’ was a Tinted talk hosted by Ronan Mckenzie, featuring a panel of some of the most exciting photographers of today- Harley Weir, Elizabeth Okoh, Yushi Li and Jameela Elfaki. This virtual event discussed new forms of
- Why We TintedAs a budding British-Nigerian caught at the edge of the city centre booming with progress, entrepreneurial spirit, and a zest for life, it can be hard to know where you’re going or where you’ve been. A major reason for starting Tinted is to connect the BAME community through photography and film. But it’s also for more selfish reasons. To learn a skill that will help me tell others where I’m going and where I’ve been. Storytelling is a tool to do just this. And storytelling in film, even better.1
- Racially Appropriate yet Violently BenignGifted a Kodak Brownie 127 from his estranged mother living in London, young Vanley found innocent curiosity in the process of photography whilst still in his homeland Jamaica. Starting from this serendipity, he has now become a key ingredient to black British history. He has spent his life documenting it, so it’s safe to say that there’s a lot we might not know about our past people if not for his work. https://medium.com/tinted-book/racially-appropriate-yet-violently-benign-1f5fae6904611
- Back to BlackHere at Tinted, we support the growth and education of creatives in the photography industry.

My role is to liaison between various departments throughout London such as different police departments, city council members, recruitment agencies, and school departments.
