STAR WARS
Few briefs speak more directly to why I love filmmaking than this one. Celebrating MediCinema's extraordinary work bringing the magic of cinema to children and adults in hospital, meant finding the balance between the cinematic scale of the Star Wars universe and the intimate reality of a child's experience.

GIRLGUIDING
I’ve personally experienced the limitations society often imposes, both directly and subtly, on what women and girls can achieve. Even today, women remain underrepresented in many roles across photography and film. That’s why bringing this project to life alongside an all-female crew was particularly meaningful. Beyond the excitement of working with such a talented and dedicated team, it was inspiring to create a space where girls could see firsthand that they, too, can pursue any path they choose - whether it’s climbing a rig, driving a van, or commanding a camera. It’s about showing them that the possibilities are limitless.

SENU
Senu is my debut short documentary portrait. I was fortunate enough to spend the beginning of the year alongside Senu Madushani, who welcomed me into the many corners of her life. I witnessed moments of incredible joy, but also heartbreak, injury, doubt and the challenges that come with pursuing a path where she was repeatedly told she could not succeed. What stayed with me most was her ability to keep moving forward. No matter how many obstacles appeared, Senu continued to choose possibility over limitation. When I first met Senu, she told me that when things get difficult, her friends remind her to “remember her name.” She smiled and said: “I am Senu.” This film is a portrait of that spirit; a young woman redefining what is possible, not only for herself, but for the next generation of girls who will follow.

MEDICINEMA
This was the first of three films I've made with Disney and MediCinema, and it still feels incredibly special. I loved exploring how differently children imagine and play - three personalities, three worlds, all connected by the same sense of wonder and the small moments of escapism film can offer.

VOICENOTES
This is a bit of a love letter to London - or maybe a slightly exasperated voicenote to it. We shot it as a one-take, 360° dance film on a windswept rooftop, racing the fading light, shooting on film and embracing whatever the evening gave us. It felt important that the film carried the city's restless energy, and somewhere between the choreography and the voice notes, sure enough that same feeling found its way in.

JIMMY FAIRLY
On a cold but incredibly sunny winters day, me and my good friend Amina frolicked around Crystal Palace like we do together most days, but this time whilst I held a Super8 in collaboration with Jimmy Fairly.

KEEP BRITAIN TIDY
We wanted to reframe litter picking as something positive - not punishment, but pride in place. Something shared, social and quietly cool. Whilst shooting in Tottenham, we picked up six bags of litter ourselves as we went.

DISNEY
I loved the gentleness of this one. It was about finding small moments of comfort and play, imagining Woody, Jessie and the gang really had come to life in hospital. We tucked Disney Easter eggs into every corner we could, and I hope they're still being spotted.

EARTH/PERCENT
This was a global collaboration with EarthPercent, bringing together 56 creatives across 21 countries, working with existing imagery from my own and fellow photographers’ archives. It felt like a reminder that connection doesn’t always need to be newly made - sometimes it already exists in what people have captured, and in how music can quietly hold it all together.
