A Photographic Collection

Unlike many photographers who began exploring their craft in the 21st century, the spark that ignited my passion for taking and making photos was struck in early 2024, when I loaded my father’s 1980s Olympus OM-10 with a roll of black and white film.

Although I had dabbled in photography on various occasions throughout my adult life—and always enjoyed it—I never truly found purpose in the photos I took, let alone a reason to share them. That changed on a rather gloomy March day in London, when I took my very first street photographs. Shortly afterward, I purchased my first digital camera, allowing me to begin a journey as a street photographer and photographic artist.

In the summer of 2024, I was incredibly fortunate to inherit a Rolleiflex 2.8C from my late grandfather. This very camera was used to document my father's childhood, along with countless landscapes and nature scenes. My grandfather developed and printed his images in the basement darkroom of their family home.

These two film cameras—the Olympus and the Rolleiflex—have shaped me profoundly as a creative. I hold a deep sense of pride and connection every time I use them.

Faces, Places, Things is a photographic collection that explores not only the joy of capturing images on analogue film, but also how this tactile process influences the viewing experience. It is a visual journey through 35mm and medium format photography, celebrating my late grandfather, the photographers I admire, and the shared humanity I encounter in taking the photos.

The collection includes portraits of people I felt drawn to or fascinated by, scenes and places that hold their own stories, and objects that seemed to carry narratives of their own.

This is an ongoing project. The final work will be presented as a limited edition photobook.
