Q. Can you tell me about your first experience with photography?
A. I kind of fell into it by accident... I just started taking flicks of my friends doing stupid things & it spiralled from there!

Q. Where did it all start for you and how has this affected your vision as a photographer?
A. It all started in Bristol and that really influences every shot I take - it’s a crazy city that really opens your eyes to a different/natural way to take pictures. Bristol is a really crazy place which makes me produce crazy photos.

Q. Have you always been a visual person with a form of creative expression?
A. I’d say so yeah - I’ve always worked with clothing and I take pride in making everything I sell look visually pleasing so that aspect works alongside everything I do.

Q. What’s next?
A. Next steps global domination! Hahaha nahhh I’m not sure, I’d really like to branch out into design work, sportswear design has always been on my mind so that’s my next avenue.
