A Boy with a Lens for an Eye

A Boy with a Lens for an Eye

At the heart of my work, it’s always about people—lots of people too. I’m self-taught, learning my craft from the streets of London, and over time, I’ve developed a love for capturing the stories of the world around me. My photography spans from personalised portraits & event photography to photojournalism and my own creative street photography projects. If you take a closer look at my work, you’ll see that I’m all about telling a story and creating art. For me, the camera is simply the tool through which I document life’s beautiful moments.

Whether I’m photographing the iconic sights of London, wandering through the vibrant streets of Porto, or exploring the dusty pathways of India, I call these places "where magic happens." As I walk through the world, I love connecting with people, always ready to capture their essence in a portrait.

With my portrait assignments, I take clients on a journey, discovering the perfect locations to create what we call ‘magic in a photograph.’ I work with both digital and analog (35mm film), enjoying the unique beauty each format brings.

I’ve spent days, weeks, and even years working on projects. With Photojournalism, it’s about documenting the real stories of people’s lives, their struggles, and their triumphs. It’s not about chasing likes on social media; it’s about us—me, you, and the connection we share.

Now, I’m excited to share what I’ve learned with others who need a dedicated photographer. People often say it’s clear to see how passionate I am about my work. All you have to do is chat with me for a few minutes, and you’ll be pulled into my world of photography. I always tell myself, “One day I’ll make it... maybe today’s the day.

My Mantras


“Eat Sleep Photography”

“You are light, I am light, every thing is light”

“I’m out chasing magical gems with sprinklings of gold dust on top”

“It ain’t gotta be pretty, it ain’t gotta be in focus, it’s just gotta be me & a little obzocky”

“I am within the universe, The universe is within me, I am not the universe”


“Everyday I get a little stronger & stronger

Everyday I get a little faster & faster

Everyday I get a little wiser & wiser

Everyday I get to enjoy this experience more and more

Any day can be my last”

“See it, Like it, Capture it”

“Busy busy bumblebee, swimming in the sea, singing wee wee wee!”
