Post Uni

Long time no speak.. I have been away from any blogging and social media for nearly two years and decided to get back into it. The year after graduating, has been a very difficult one for number of reasons; both personal and academic. Many things I wish I could have done differently, so I wanted…

Maison Fleur: A Feast for the Eyes, as well as the Mouth.

I had the ultimate pleasure of combining my two favourite interests: photographing and eating amazing food. Last month, I was invited by the manager at Maison Fleur, to photograph their seasonal menu whilst the hospitality businesses are coming out lockdown across Britain.

IPA Awards 2018

A couple of months, I submitted my project Za Granica // Beyond the Border to IPA Photo Awards in the category Non-Professional Documentary  Photobook.

As I couldn't remember which beach wood frames I ordered due to a mad week last week, it was a pleasant surprise picking them up! The prints themselves, which were printed on photo rag paper, were printed…
