My journey into photography began while studying Media & Graphic Design at university. What started as simple curiosity—picking up a camera to explore a new perspective on design—quickly became a creative outlet. At first, I captured everyday scenes in my local area and moments from my travels, experimenting without pressure or expectation.
-
Life had then taken an unexpected turn, and I stepped away from higher education to work various jobs. It was during the Covid lockdown that photography re-entered my life in a meaningful way. After losing my job at the time and facing a challenging period mentally, I needed something that would refocus my mindset and keep me moving forward. I picked up my camera again—this time with intent.
-
I immersed myself in street photography across central London, refining my eye for composition, light, and storytelling. Through consistent practice and plenty of trial and error, I developed not only technical skills but a deeper creative voice.
-
Before photography and design, much of my discipline came from training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & MMA. As covid restrictions eased, I began bringing my camera into training sessions, blending my understanding of combat sports with visual storytelling. With the support of my coaches, I started documenting sessions at my local gym, gradually developing a strong focus on combat sports photography and media.
Over time, this grew into working with gyms across the UK, capturing competitions, seminars, and events.

At heart, I am a creative driven by curiosity. I draw inspiration from art, sport, games, animation, music and many other forms of media—constantly experimenting and pushing ideas to create work that feels dynamic, authentic and original. I am always open to new collaborations and projects that challenge me to evolve.
