One Hundred Years
One Hundred Years consists of 100 portraits from my community in Hackney, covering every age from one to 100. Paired with revealing quotes from each subject, this series captures not just a community, but the many vital moments of connection, contradiction, growth and reflection that we all experience as we age.

One Day Young Collectors Edition
The portrait series One Day Young consists of one hundred and fifty portraits, taken over five years. The women are intimately captured back in their own homes, within twenty-four hours of the birth, challenging the usual sterile hospital images that inform our collective image of this moment. These women exude strength, identity intact rather than the anonymous mother stripped of self. Instead of fear we are presented with triumph.
The original book is now sold out, only collectors editions left. A special, fully cloth covered, collector’s edition of One Day Young In Hackney presented in a bespoke cloth covered clamshell box complete with signed and numbered limited edition print.
Edition of 250, 192 x 136mm (paper size), giclée print on Hahnemühle Photorag 188gsm, signed and numbered by the artist.

Hackney Studios
Hackney Studios is a series that celebrates the diverse mixture of creatives in the borough. This project celebrates the established and the unknown. Each nomination selected the next, creating their own family tree, linked by a thread of mutual respect and inspiration. Well known artists pick their assistants, who may then celebrate their tutors without hierarchy, free flowing from one genre to another. Integrity celebrated above all else. This blindfold approach led to a unique selection that reflects the spirit of the artists and their community.
