Impact Vision

I am a photographer, storyteller and creative coach based in London. My work is rooted in empathy and collaboration. I believe that every person has a story worth sharing and that photography can help people feel seen and valued. Whether I am working on a documentary project or creating a single portrait, my aim is always to honour the person in front of the camera.

My approach

I work closely with the people I photograph so their own voice shapes the images we make together. I am interested in real lives, quiet moments, and the emotions that sit beneath the surface. Photography for me is a way to preserve memories, build confidence and explore how we understand ourselves and others.

Themes in my work

Much of my photography explores belonging, cultural identity, and the strength people show while navigating uncertainty. This includes Love in the Last Hour of Struggle, a long form project focusing on Ukrainians who have rebuilt their lives in London. I am also developing a series in New Orleans, After The Rain Fell, that reflects on how communities continue to live with the legacy of Hurricane Katrina.

I also create personal work that looks at neurodivergent experience. My own relationship with sensory processing and early memory informs this. I am drawn to the tension between overwhelm and comfort, and the different ways our minds interpret the world. Some of this work engages with childhood memories, sensory distortion and the need for connection when the environment becomes too much to absorb. Through these images, I hope to offer a visual language that others with similar experiences can recognise and feel understood by.

My commissioned portrait practice centres on dignity and representation. Many of the people I photograph use their images to support new opportunities in life, whether personal or professional. I also provide coaching for emerging creatives, helping them gain confidence, build their portfolios and shape sustainable careers around their talents.

My photographs and stories have been shared both online and in print. I continue to pursue exhibition and publication opportunities that allow these narratives to be seen and valued by wider audiences. The response that matters most to me is when the people involved feel proud of the results.

The difference I hope to make

I want my work to have purpose and positive impact. I aim to:

• help people feel seen and heard

• open paths to new confidence and opportunity

• preserve personal and cultural histories at risk of being forgotten

• support independent creatives in building stable futures

• encourage empathy through honest storytelling

• give form to experiences that are often hard to put into words

I pay attention to the outcomes that show real benefit. A sense of pride. A shift in how someone views themselves. A story that reaches people who need to hear it.

My long term vision

Over the coming years, I will continue developing projects that are driven by lived experience and care. I plan to build more partnerships with organisations and institutions that share the belief that art can improve lives and understanding. I am committed to expanding my coaching support for emerging artists and people facing barriers to creative careers. My hope is to contribute to a culture where more voices are visible, valued and supported.

Invitation

If you would like to collaborate, commission work or share a story, I would be happy to talk. I welcome connections with individuals, charities, organisations and fellow artists who believe in the importance of connection through photography.
