Work Philosophy
Narratives are fundamental to our sense and relation to the world around us. I am fascinated by the power of storytelling and the room for creativity within it – especially through the medium of photography. I aim to create visually compelling images that convey a sense of sincerity and openness from both my subject and myself. The narratives I engage with are indicative of my values and the aspects of my life that I find meaningful.
