My photography history
I have been using photography more purposefully since 2011, when I brought a Pentax compact camera with me to help document my graduate fieldwork in Beijing.
Photography remained a personal interest, but it wasn’t until my dad passed away in 2020, and I decided to take over his old equipment that it became a major part of my life. It grew from nostalgia to a passion, and I’ve never looked back.
I started out with portraits of friends and family, at events, took up street photography again, and then on one very grey and rainy day I decided to shoot a still life, almost as a counterpoint to street photography.
I sold my first prints in 2020, had my first formal training in 2021, joined the Royal Photographic Society in 2024, and I’m presently working on my Licentiate distinction for later this year.
