London Area, United Kingdom
I am a highly motivated, dedicated and hardworking photographer, producer, set designer and editor with a passion for fine art, contemporary fashion and styling. I am currently studying Photography at Camberwell Collage of Arts, UAL; with an avid curiosity in illustration, conceptual art and creative ideas/ innovations. My love for fashion photography began whilst studying fashion promotion during my foundation; where I learnt how to promote a brand through inbound market techniques, social media and outbound marketing techniques, such as TV adverts. Styling is another skills that I discovered studying fashion promotion at Ravensbourne University London, something that has been very useful when working with various brands, customer and commercial needs - brands such as Runway Hair Clips Management, Khaogramz, GmbH and more. Creating and collaborating with various artists has really allowed me to explore and understand how I can apply to my stylings on shoots - work which you can see on my website! My photography work spans a range of brands including Amazon, Wolf & Badger, Fashion United, Deezer and Bloomsbury; publications such as Creative Lives, Glass Magazine, The Photographer's Gallery, gal-dem, Hypebae, Fashion Minority Report, THIIIRD Magazine, Campaign Live, It's Nice That, The British Library and Graduate Fashion Week and exhibitions such as Tate Britain, PhotoFusion, BBH London, Lake Gallery, Camberwell Space Gallery, Rankin x Maryland Studio, including billboards across the UK and a solo show with Bow Arts.
