Vogue Italia

Since I've been at University I have made every effort to pursue work, publications, and career opportunities as well as focusing on my University projects. This comes with it's added disadvantages, adding more pressure and less time to focus on the work at hand, at University which at times has interfered with my studies. However; if you were to ask me if I would take it all back and just focus on University, I would say NO because this work I've created outside of University, my personal work has developed me hugely as a photographer and individual building customer relations, a small client base, organisational skills, confidence within my own style and work, and gained some much experience just getting out there and shooting. This particular image above was shot on 120 Kodak Portra 400 for a personal project at the time, titled; "Those We Don't See" and was a successful publication featuring on Vogue Italia. For this shoot, I had contacted a modelling agency based in London and Norwich; Crumb Agency working with this model, on a test shoot which required me to get shots specifically for the agency and model's portfolio.

Volant Magazine


This image was just one of a number that were accepted as part of one of my latest webitorial features with the magazine; Volant Magazine. This image was taken for part of my earlier project that started in the summer of 2018 and where my current degree project started also in conjunction to this. The title of this series "Boys Will Be Boys" was once that was condemned at University and requested that I changed because of it's controversial meaning. Despite this and the comments from my lecturers these portraits working under this title have been my most successful work to date, featuring in another magazine; Kaltblut Magazine. Emotions and senses of fragility, anxiety and depression are themes of these portraits combining the nonpolitical title, challenging the misconception of men and men's mental health with the worrying rise in numbers of male suicides across the UK. These portraits and this body of work has influenced as mentioned before the work I'm currently creating for my final degree project "Grassroots" based around masculinity within the sporting world of football at the grassroots level.

Shuba Magazine


This feature in the magazine; Shuba Magazine was one of my latest similar to the feature above in Vogue Italia, this portrait came from the same body of work "Those We Don't See" collaborating with a number o stylists, designers, models, agencies, magazines and other students on shoots with and without concepts and sometimes just purely for portfolios or fashion based work. All these publications are talking points for further potential working and collaborative opportunities especially with my eagerness to photograph more fashion events across the UK building on my latest experience in September 2018 working with a London based agency as part of LFW SS19, at Freemasons Hall London, Fashion Scout.
