About me
I am a Luton/Surrey based creative in Photography, Directing, and Writing. I currently study English with Creative Writing at Royal Holloway University. I have a slight obsession for theatre and musicals and I go crazy for anything Marvel. I'm looking for more experience in the creative field and potential collabs with more creatives.
Projects
  • Venus
    VenusInspired by William Shakespeare's play, Venus and Adonis, is this experimental self-portrait project taken by myself during isolation. It's a journey of understanding the regal aspect of the name Venus as associated with the Greek goddess as well as the raw sensual character that Shakespeare creates in his play.
  • Industrial vs Culture
    Industrial vs CultureExploring the contrast between the brutalist concrete world of London against the modern style of black British streetwear. "If an old white woman doesn't give you dirty looks for your clothes, then your outfit isn't fire."

  • 'Grown Up' - Short Film
    'Grown Up' - Short FilmFunded by Kusini Productions, 'Grown Up' is a stylistic short film about a group of friends who meet up at the end of summer to watch a montage of themselves that their creative friend Abby makes. It's a reminiscent and nostalgic film about the simple fun of teens before they transition into adults. It also presents a more positive perception of the black British culture in London.
