ABOUT
I am a photographer and visual artist from Bristol. My collaborative work is rooted in vibrant and playful imagery in music, fashion, and dance, while my personal practice stretches more broadly in context, often with a more surreal and solemn tone. Across both, the subjects in my photography can be seen to inhabit a quiet beauty within exaggerated and distorted realities.
I aim to show the charm and intrigue I find in my subjects, while placing them in the larger realm of my interior worldview. One shaped by a wide range of experiences and influences — from dance styles like popping, krump, and breaking, to wider Hip Hop culture, music, design, architecture, and visual art. I’m particularly interested in ideas like afro-surrealism and the social production of space, which inform how I think about bodies, environments, and the atmospheres they generate.
Available for editorial, album art, promo, and documentary opportunities - Though please also feel free to contact me regarding anything else you might be excited to share with me!
