I am a London-based photo artist, journalist, researcher, and lecturer.
My trajectory using photography started during my journalism degree. The work of migrant photographers such as Vincenzo Pastore or Pierre Verger has always influenced me.
My portfolio comprises several lines of inquiry, covering a period since 2005. I have consciously tried not to fixate on cameras or follow professionalised notions of quality- Instead, I privilege opportunity and commentary.
These images attest to narratives of urban living, gender conformity, and other critical aspects of image-making. My work frames urban scenes and the portrait of life as de-institutionalised or devoid of meaning as possible. I also like to spot relationships between people, their immediate location, emotions, and the cultural memory of spaces.
This website portrays only a small sample of my production, which is available for licensing and exhibitions.
