The man behind the lens…

A Nikon enthusiast from Bristol - my photography journey started since leaving school, observing/learning and taking advice from those I looked up to along the way. Growing up in a creative community surrounded by local Photographers, Street Artists and Architects - the camera allowed me to contribute my own slice of creativity…

Inspired by the likes of Martha Cooper, Shepard Fairey, Ernő Goldfinger, among others… I would like to think I’ve found my own visual style and outlook, blending together many different aspects and techniques to my photography portfolio throughout the years.

My advice to anyone would be to read and take notes of your interests, feel compelled to seek out your own perspective and keep learning new skills. Explore and be curious in your chosen environment and most importantly, use your imagination.

A number people have asked me what the plan is going forward (to be honest, I have no idea). Along with several other personal projects that are currently ongoing, I’ve finally built something that has been on my list of things to do for quite some time now - a website!
