My Journey Through Light and Time

Growing up in London surrounded by creativity, I've always been drawn to visual storytelling. My path into photography began with an unexpected discovery during my film studies in Brighton—a serendipitous find that would reshape my entire artistic journey.

The Camera That Changed Everything

While wandering through Brighton's North Laines, helping a friend hunt for the perfect birthday gift, we stumbled into Snoopers Paradise—a legendary thrift shop that feels like stepping into a time capsule. Among the eclectic treasures, a display of vintage cameras caught my eye. Without hesitation, I purchased a Cold War-era West German Praktica TL-5B, complete with a 200mm lens that, in hindsight, was wildly impractical for a beginner. But sometimes the best discoveries come from diving in headfirst.

That moment sparked an obsession. I began collecting, trading, and experimenting with analogue cameras, burning through hundreds of film rolls and exploring different stocks. Each camera taught me something new about light, composition, and the beautiful unpredictability of film photography.

From Student to Professional

After graduating from the University of Sussex, my grandmother's generous gift allowed me to bridge the gap between analogue and digital. I invested in a Sony A7III—a camera I'd grown familiar with during my studies—and began freelancing across the UK as a Camera Assistant, Best Boy, Runner, and Spark on various productions.

My portfolio chronicles years of learning and growth, with each section representing the incredible privilege of capturing moments around the world. From the intimate grain of 35mm film to the precision of digital cinematography, every image tells part of my evolving story as an artist.

Looking Forward

Now back in London after an inspiring stint in New Zealand, I'm focused on building a career that fully utilises my photography and filmmaking expertise. My next ambitious project? Creating a collaborative photography book that encompasses my entire body of work, with the ultimate dream of hosting an exhibition that brings these captured moments to life for others to experience.

This portfolio represents not just my technical growth, but my ongoing love affair with the art of visual storytelling.
