Chess World War
With this series, I wanted to use the game of chess as a commentary about the topic war. The way in which the higher powers play with our world by ordering people lower to them to fight their battles in combat just as easily as it is for someone to play a game of chess.
Healthy Lifestyle
Walking
During my time at university, we was assigned a brief which instructed us to go for a walk and photograph what stands out to us as a way to find beauty and interests in what people would not initially pay attention to.
CHILDREN'S MENTAL HEALTH
This series is visualising the juxtaposition of a safe space for children with the negative connotations that relate with darkness in order to raise awareness for the mental safety of children.
Fish and Chip Shop
Seine Rigger is a fish and chip shop that I photographed inspired by editorial photography in which I captured the workers, the decorations and the process of what it takes in order to run a successful business.
Toy Portraiture
Although portraiture is not my typical style of photography, I enjoyed this twist by photographing my own childhood toys. Despite being small, lifeless figurines, toys, in a child's mind, carry a sense of identity and even friendship which I wanted to capture with these close-up shots.
Octopus Head
Octopus Head was a small photoshoot I conducted that involved the popular trend of the inside-out octopus plushy.
Ethics
A brief I was assigned while at university was titled "Ethics", in which we had to show a body of work that made the viewer question the ethics of the photoshoot in which I came up with this idea to critique young smokers by exaggerating this issue with what is supposed to be a 5 year old smoker. This is a series that could potentially be expanded on in the future.
Hotel Room
This photoshoot was spontaneous while on holiday with my cousin where we both collaborated on creating a shoot inspired by horror films, a common interest of ours. Based on the dramatic narrative, I feel that this could be a potential series to pursue in the future.
