In making this picture, I rebuilt a treasured memory and was able to relive it, one which accompanied me throughout my growing years.

I was born and raised in London, where I read Pure Mathematics at Bedford College, University of London. My interest in photography began after seeing Robert MapplethorpeĀ“s controversial exhibition at the ICA. Soon it became my passion. Although I worked full-time in the finance sector, I attended numerous evening and online classes in Photography. A few years ago I gave up my full-time work, to set up a studio as a freelance portrait photographer and have time to study towards my photography degree. My area of interest, besides portraiture, is staged and narrative photography.
