Photography has always been more than just a craft for me—it’s a thread that weaves through my life, connecting memories, emotions, and relationships. My journey began during childhood, when I was fortunate to spend countless hours with my father, who introduced me to the world of photography. His passion was contagious. He owned several cameras, each with its own story, and together we would explore the art of capturing moments. Those shared experiences—taking photos, experimenting with post-processing techniques, and exchanging ideas—were not just about learning photography; they were about building a bond that shaped my creative spirit.
As I grew older, what started as a shared hobby blossomed into a deeply personal passion. With my own camera in hand, I began to explore the nuances of the medium, experimenting with different techniques and styles to find my voice. It wasn’t long before I realized that monochrome photography resonated with me in a way nothing else did. There’s an undeniable magic in black and white imagery—the way light and shadow dance together to reveal textures, emotions, and stories that might otherwise remain hidden.
For me, monochrome is not just about simplicity; it’s about infinite complexity within that simplicity. Stripping away color allows me to focus on the essence of a scene—the interplay of contrast and detail, the raw emotion of a subject, and the timeless quality that black and white inherently carries. It’s heartwarming to discover that even within the duality of two colors lies endless depth and possibility.
This fascination with duality extends beyond aesthetics; it reflects my interest in exploring profound contrasts that define our existence. Black and white photography is uniquely suited to convey these opposing forces—good and evil, life and death—that shape our world yet depend on one another for meaning. In every image I create, I see echoes of these universal truths: the light cannot exist without shadow; joy is often intertwined with sorrow; beginnings are inseparable from endings.
The duality of good and evil especially intrigues me—the idea that they coexist not as opposites but as complementary forces necessary for balance. Through monochrome photography, I aim to capture this interplay: moments where darkness enhances light or where conflict reveals beauty. Similarly, the duality of life and death holds a special place in my work. Black and white imagery allows me to explore this eternal cycle—celebrating vitality while honoring impermanence.
Through this website, I hope to share not only my photographs but also these deeper reflections on duality—the contrasts that define us—and how they inspire my art. Each image is an invitation to pause, reflect, and find meaning in both the simplicity and complexity of our shared human experience.
In no particular order, I have participated in competitions, being lucky enough to win one of the categories in National Geographic Traveller UK edition. I was also printed in Life Framer Vol 1.
I also had the opportunity to showcase my work in the Bricklane Gallery in East London.
