At what point did you begin channelling your focus into photography and creative direction?

There was one point where I dabbled in many different things. I started off drawing and painting.I always took images on a disposable camera, any time I could afford to buy one, then I took photography at GCSE level. I have always felt the need to express through creating, so I feel in this sense I have always been a creative director.

My emotions come through in every element.  A lot of my recent work has been based on  the notion of “belonging”, because belonging is something I rarely feel.
