Work
This section brings together a range of my photographic, painted, and sketchbook work. I’m drawn to moments where colour, light, gesture, or composition briefly align to reveal something about the atmosphere of a place or the psychology of a moment.
My background in graphic design continues to influence how I see and construct images. Whether working with a camera, paint, or quick sketches, attention to structure, colour, and visual balance remains central to the way I explore and respond to the world.
reflect
In many cultures, psychosis is viewed not as a mental illness but as a Spiritual Emergency. My own experiences reflected this perspective. I felt as though a veil was being lifted to reveal a deeper reality, allowing me to see, hear, and experience life in a more profound and enlightened way. While this was at times awe-inspiring, it was also accompanied by fear and uncertainty.
I’ve encountered a number of “Dark Nights of the Soul,” some of which felt like an ego death, and others like a re-enactment of past trauma. During the night that I have represented in this piece, I was convinced that my daughter had been killed, that my legs had been broken, and that I was blinded by fear.
Through years of reflection, I now view these episodes as both a rapid spiritual journey and a mental health condition in need of treatment. I believe a more comprehensive understanding is needed—one that bridges both the spiritual and mental health aspects, which is currently lacking.
street photography
My street photography explores the quiet theatre of everyday life. I am drawn to the meeting point between people, architecture, culture, and light—those fleeting moments where the ordinary briefly becomes visually compelling.
While travelling or walking through familiar places, I watch for small alignments of gesture, light, and environment. Most of my street photographs include people, capturing fragments of daily life across different cities and cultures.
portraits
My portrait photography is driven by a curiosity about people and the psychological landscapes they carry within them. I am less interested in polished images and more drawn to moments where personality, vulnerability, or complexity begins to reveal itself.
Many of these portraits arise from brief encounters—sometimes with strangers, sometimes with friends or family. Through conversation, observation, and patience, I try to create the conditions where something genuine can emerge.
graphic design
Before focusing on photography, I worked as a graphic designer within the advertising and publishing industries. My career included roles at leading agencies and studios, producing concept-led campaigns, brand identities, and typographic design for a range of clients.
This background continues to influence how I approach images today. Composition, visual clarity, typography, and the relationship between image and meaning remain central to my practice, bridging my earlier design work with my current artistic exploration.
fine art
My watercolour paintings, which I call Soulscapes, begin with an emotional or intuitive starting point. I try to quieten my conscious mind and allow colour, water, and gesture to move freely across the paper.
Only later do I step back and see what has emerged—suggestions of landscapes, forests, battles, or calm places. A few final conscious marks bring the image to completion, leaving behind an abstract reflection of mood, memory, or inner experience.
sketch book
My sketchbooks are spaces for experimentation and visual thinking. They hold quick drawings, photographic colour studies, fragments of ideas, and moments of curiosity captured before they disappear. Working without pressure, I allow instinct and play to guide the marks.
These pages act as a laboratory for my wider practice. Loose sketches, abstract marks, and visual observations often resurface later in my photographic work, influencing composition, colour, and atmosphere.
