My graduate project and a short interview has been featured in Vice! Along with other talented graduates as part of Vice spotlighting select projects across the six colleges that make up University of the Arts London. Excited is an understatement! 🤩

How three different graduate photographers have approached the concept of identity as it intersects with sexual expression, gender and race.

Very happy to share today (which just happens to be my birthday ☺️) that my photograph has been selected for exhibition in New York!

: Global Images for Global Crisis is a selection of photographs collected from the ICP Concerned hashtag in response to recent events worldwide. It will be on view once reopens. For now, a selection of images will be released online.

This is what the exhibition will look like (courtsey of ) + my image that was accepted.

'Adventure, DANGER, Calm, ALERT, Peace, PANIC, Freedom, FEAR.'

My graduate project at LCC, University of the Arts London, explores nocturnal solitude from a female perspective. Featuring women in locations near their homes or work - familiar city spaces that become unfamiliar as darkness falls, my aim was to capture the tension and conflicting emotions women experience when occupying space in the night city on their own.
