Since I have been surrounded from an early age by a multicultural art environment, photography has been a crucial part of my life. The passion for photography embraced a desire to work in the visual art and design industry and now I cannot imagine doing anything else. I have been strongly influenced by artists such as Edgar Allan Poe, Helmut Newton, Irving Penn, Cecil Beaton and many more. I enjoy being creative and view photography as a vital way for me to express myself - particularly in a figurative and detailed way. I aim to make my work expressive and visually stimulating with a joy for experiment. My future aims are to continue working in an environment that embraces art and commerce which would enable me to create and publish the several works that I would be involved in.
