How did you get into photography ?

Basically through taking shots of my friends whilst at parties or adventuring. I then started to pick up on what shots I liked and consequently picked up my style of photography.

Tell us more about your commissioned works. Are they more interesting than your personal projects ?

The majority of my work is personal. I feel my personal work portrays my style more effectively than my commissioned work. I feel most creative when there is no pressure and there is a relaxed atmosphere, capturing things naturally rather than forced. This consists of adventures or simply taking photos of my friends out and about.

What’s next for you ?

Many more adventures and I may look into furthering my fashion photography work.

Thanks a lot !
