“Music inspires most of my work. I always say that my images look like the type of music I listen to the most, …very ambient moods”
Bio
I’m a photographer from North West London. I started playing with cameras during university (2008-2011) - shooting videos with my friends. This led to a few years, post uni, of freelance videography, directing and shooting music videos, interviews, promotional content and general clips for fun.
I fell out of love with media (2014). I abandoned my channels (Vimeo/Youtube), sold everything I had and travelled/worked full time.
I bought a Canon6D and began shooting again (January 2017). The camera was initially meant for video purposes but photography quickly became my main passion - it allowed me to paint anything I wanted, quickly.
Style
Armed with a Sigma 50mm 1.4 ART I shoot mostly portraits.
I love photographing people - women more specifically, although not exclusively. I love the stories told by skin tone, by eyes, by hair. I tell these stories with serene light and shadows. Regardless of the feelings evoked by the art - dark or light, my work must be graceful. The same peace and grace that is found in Joy can also be found in mourning and melancholia.
I want to capture the human condition in its entirety despite disproportionately presenting the dark. The dark is always repressed. The music sways me in that direction.
