My journey as a photographer
I’ve been fascinated and in love with the art of photography ever since I picked up my dad’s camera as a small child in the 80’s.
I wasn’t allowed to touch my dad’s camera, which made me even more determined when I finally got my own.
In my teenage years, I studied two years of photography at the prestigious Bournville College of Arts, where I was heavily influenced by the works of Henri Cartier-Bresson.
I obtained a BA(Hons) in filmmaking as an extension to my stills photography, with my first documentary winning Best TV Programme of 2021 at the Asian Media Awards, and was broadcast on Channel 4.
My professional journey led me to the prestigious Magnum Photos photographic agency, where I served as a Director. This role gave me the opportunity to work alongside and learn from some of the world's most respected photographers, including Elliott Erwitt, Martin Parr CBE, and Peter Marlow.
As a creative photographer, I enhance my photographic work as a skilled freelance Colourist, working on the colour for award-winning feature films.
I enjoy working with people and helping them achieve their dreams and ambitions.
I’d love to work with you, and help you grow your brand and business.
