‘Inspired by Barthé’ Editorial feature for @nationaltrust
Photographed this editorial spread covering the stories of black British artists. It wasn’t just exposure for art but it felt like recognition of both the work and the wider cultural conversation art sits within and I’m glad my art could be a part of that too.
Thank you for having me

Something different from me - New 1st AD work for @footlockeruk
This really was an exciting experience stepping outside of photography and transferring those skills to help bring the full vision together on set.
Working alongside the most incredible cast + crew, across both video and stills definitely reminded me how much I enjoy being part of the bigger creative process and I genuinely loved the energy behind this project.. Lastly thank you everyone for taking my “you’ve got 2 minutes” seriously 🤞🏾❤️😂

[ACT II]
Sísí Ológè [translation: A girl adorned with elegance.]
If Dúró Alágbára [Act I] is about standing firm, Sísí Ológè is about arrival. It captures the shift that follows when a girl wearing her gele, no longer watches from the sidelines but joins the women around her. This piece reflects the moment after becoming, as she steps into shared womanhood. It speaks to belonging, pride, and the quiet confidence that grows from being seen and included.
This work reflects elegance not as an ornament, but as confidence learned through tradition, the softness that shows after strength and essentially the ease of finally belonging.

[ACT I]
Dúró Alágbára [translation: to stand firm]
A gele is a traditional Yoruba headwrap, worn by women for celebrations, ceremony, and moments of significance. For many girls, wearing it for the first time marks a quiet coming of age a shift into visibility, responsibility, and belonging.
This piece explores that moment through the act of form and tension: the strength it takes to hold the wrap in place, the patience of the folds, the posture it asks of the body. Strength here is not loud it is learned, worn, and carried with pride.
