About Me
I am a Photographer and Film Director based in London, UK.
My creative work often blends surreal and dream-like images, inspired by the small medieval town I grew up in, to create visually arresting narratives. I enjoy building new worlds out of the ordinary and playing with the sensuality of shadow and movement.
My films and photography have been in the Hunger Magazine, Fubiz Magazine and selected for several exhibitions including the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition Online, The Photographers' Gallery DEVELOP exhibition, London International Creative Competition, 'Who Are You' national competition judged by Rankin, and most recently won the Young Filmmaker Award at the Cinemagic Film Festival, Belfast.
