“I love taking photos because it lets me capture the beauty in things that often go unnoticed — the calmness of nature, the emotions of people, and the little moments that tell stories without words. When I’m behind the camera, I feel connected — to the world, to others, and to myself. Nature reminds me of peace and growth, while photographing people shows me how unique and powerful human emotions can be.
Photography, to me, isn’t just about images — it’s about feeling. It’s a way to pause time, express what words can’t and keep memories alive in their purest.”

Review of the British Flag Through Architecture
“How the combination of a structural building and its city transport in our most common surroundings can reflect the British Flag. This nation which has a part in domestic violence involvement. Yet abuse still needs to be eradicated. Shall Britain bring in application the laws to protect our children and next generations.”

“This work was created to celebrate Black History Month whilst also depicting my life journey. I chose a llama to honour my daughter’s favourite animal. Each patch is a turning point in my life – the large patches for when life was steady and fulfilling, the smaller patches for when life was difficult. I use ‘X’ stitches all over and in a single colour thread to show the only constant in the work was me, myself. The stitches are irregular showing that everyday has been a struggle, a lesson in time and a culmination of who I am today.”

“In the past year I have been struggling with my mental health, unfortunately I was made homeless last year and lost everything. Since getting my dog back, he and I enjoy a long walk in the park in the mornings.
“Walking through this amazing park lifts my spirits, seeing nature at its best, all different types of animals enjoying each other’s company. Who would have thought this park is in the crazy city of ours.”

“I have taken these pictures to represent the journey I am currently taking. The journey into improving my self-love, self-talk, self-esteem, and self-worth. Even though it may seem enclosed with darkness and obstacles, there is a light and beauty at the end of my path. The light shows hope and glimmers into the new me. She may not be perfect, but she will be beautiful, reborn and a stronger me.”
