Growing up I loved TV shows, movies, and video games. The movies and shows that really stuck with me were the darker and more out of the box thinking type, with very interesting stories such as elements of different dimensions to time travel to general fantasy. I also loved the way some shows just had amazing colour, I always felt connected to these colours either popping or dark, it just didn't look normal but yet so interesting.
I feel these darker shows, movies and games with very unusual colours built my love for this aesthetic. This is why I take very delicate care in my colour in all my pictures.
My interests lie in street photography, you will probably find me running around the streets of London most days. For me, it is so fascinating and exhilarating trying to create a movie scene from random people on the streets, without them knowing the part they are playing in my scene. You never know what you will get, how people will react and maneuvering around the chaos that is London is so unpredictable that's why it is refreshing. This makes me feel very present, it allows me to let go, as I have no control other than to press the shutter. Most importantly I find street photography always tests my creativity, trying to predict movement and praying for a person to walk into my shot to complete the image (shockingly I found how considerate people are by trying not to get into my shot even though I want them too!)
For my portraits I essentially apply my street photography ideas and concepts; trying to find the uncommon angle or scene, looking for something that will spice up the frame rather that a standard shot. I also try and add a story to give the image more depth.
I just love photography.
