I meant to mention that a few weeks back, I created a poster for my brother’s charity quiz night - please see it…

Has it really been that long since I last posted on here?? My apologies, there has been lots of good things happening both professionally and personally…
Read MoreLed by Art
A mate of mine - the lovely Gabriella Havens (Insta @GabiHavens) - did a pretty cool Instagram post a short while ago which inspired me to create an artistic post of my own. The results are below:
Led by the art
I put this together using a combination of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, and it literally defines me being led by art. I’m not the most natural of illustrators, but I am a sucker for a good bit of artwork! This will explain why I have visited the Saatchi Gallery so many times!
Let me know your thoughts on this piece, or simply visit my Instagram here!

Lockdown London Snippets
Hi strangers,
Been out and about in Lockdown London recently doing plenty of photography - including capturing these beaut shots in and around St Pauls and Liverpool Street…
Read MoreHampstead Series 2.0
I recently visited the Pergola Hills and Gardens venue in my fave district of London, Hampstead. This area means a lot to my family and I for personal reasons, and I thought it was fitting I returned to begin series 2.0 of my photography here.

Yesterday marked the first time in over three months that I had set foot in central London following the lessening of the lockdown restrictions.

Dear all of you,
As you know, there has been a lot going on both here and across the pond with regards to Black lives and why they matter too!

It has been weird times has it not? If you cast your minds back to six-seven months ago, the idea of a lockdown seemed crazy! 2020 was meant to be THE best year ever…
We fast forward to June 2020 and we are in the midst of a lockdown (or coming out of one - depending on your stance!). I have been quite busy as of recent from a design arc, so have not spent as much time behind my Nikon lenses.
I have also been emotionally caught up in the news around Black Lives Matter; something which as a black man resonates really closely with me. Equality, not superiority on this front, is the goal. I ended up taking a very short break from socials as it has been a lot - especially when reading the negative comments in comments sections across social media…
This brings me to now - sat here on the dining table having returned from a serene walk to Stratford with my girlfriend having got behind my camera again. The walk allowed me to have a disconnect from the madness going on right now and restore my mind to one of calmness! Photo-editing helps, and is also one of my fave hobbies. That is what I sit doing now whilst writing this blog! I did not miss the chance of capturing some self-portraits in the process (that’ll be saved for my Insta)! If you know me well, then you will know the latter is not surprising!
I miss the normal, but at the same time, I am not uncomfortable with a new normal…in fact, I am trying to embrace it! Perhaps 2020 is the year of pivoting…
Thanks for reading, and do not forget… we are in this together!

African Artwork Evening
Late September, I was commissioned by the Britain-Nigeria Educational Trust to photograph at their artists’ auction and drinks evening; held at Desso in Farringdon. The evening was spectacular, with many beautiful pieces of art selling at the auction.
Below are some of the shots I caught in a slideshow!
Cutting to an Important Matter
A few weeks ago I was invited to photograph at City Hall (still hyped about this now!) where the events ‘Trim & Talk’ and ‘Barbershop & Chill’ were taking place!
