Primarily focusing on bridging the gap of positive representation of people of colour, I am a portrait photographer closely working with both analogue and digital photography. I primarily shoot portraiture to convey the reclamation of space that minority groups take up. This interest in the empowerment of BIPOC began in my second year of university, when I began to grow closer to my own cultural identity. Moving from Mombasa to the UK at an early age, I found that positive and accurate representation of people of colour was not present in the British media; and so, I have begun to collaborate with BIPOC to change this.
