“A photograph is a moment. When you press the button it will never come back.”
~ Rene Burri

Memories, dreams, connections and the fleeting moment are what interests me when I create photographic works. It is only since lockdown that I felt the overwhelming need to capture what was happening around us and to express this time of flux through photography. Whilst I have taken an interest in photography since childhood, it was events happening around us in lockdown that compelled me to share my work that I created during and after that time.

I have since continued to work on personal photographic projects.

Pina and her Dance Troupe won 'Portrait of Britain' in 2021, and was shortlisted for the Royal Photographic Society International Open Call 2022 and 2021. My series of black and white portraits of teenagers through windows, longingly waiting for their freedom to be restored was written about in the Black and White Photography Magazine and two of her portraits received an honourable mention in the IPA Awards.

I created a series entitled ‘Postcards from the Pandemic’ which was written about for the online publication of lockdown for the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) and after the two years of lockdown I self published my book ‘Together Apart’ and held an exhibition of my photographic works from the book, at White City House, London.

Previously I worked in creative establishments as a puppet maker for the Jim Henson Creature Workshop , art department assistant for BBC productions, and as a senior muralist and set decorator at the Academy for Performing Arts, Hong Kong. Throughout my travels in Asia i worked as a photography assistant and stylist and curated several photography and contemporary Asian art exhibitions.
