Since receiving my first digital camera at the age of 12, photography has always been present in my life, it allows me not just to capture scenes but to capture memories and moments in life. During my current project (An Inflorescence of Dreams), I have built a sense of my own style by combining different techniques including digital composites to create collages. Inspired by techniques used by graphic designers and illustrators, I have developed the existing narrative in my images to broaden and challenge the perception of the observer’s understanding.

I am passionate about developing my creative approach to portrait photography and collage work. I hope to develop my professional network through assisting whilst aiming to evolve as a creative editorial and advertising freelance photographer.
