Street Photography 2021. Meandering in London (Haringey and the East End). Credits to unknown street artists.
Following the social documentary tradition, I documented several rallies in London over 2021 and 2022. My intention was to photograph these events through the personal lens of the participants. I am interested in the narrative and emotive potential of photography, as well as the power of photography to explore personal and social histories.

I live in a location surrounded by woodlands and enjoy returning to this subject throughout the year. Photographing the natural environment is enjoyable and helps me explore the elements of photography such as light and composition.
