Through the experiences I have gained as a photographer, initially starting as an events photographer and transitioning towards portraits, my style of work has been described as a blend between both cinematic and chiaroscuro. Light can be manipulated and used creatively to create dynamic portraits that highlight the story, or create the narrative that we seek as artists. I would also like to think that one of the focuses of my work is to also help others embrace inner confidence through my lens, and capture them in the fetish gear that emboldens them to strut.
I also see in my own works, the means to capture or project fantasies and scenes that I long to create, particularly those of leather and boots. And through various communities, coming to understand the sense of brotherhood and mutual interests, whether the path may have started, and to wherever it may lead. And a fun little fact, I am a pocket cub hence I often need my Wesco boots to appear a little taller amongst the leather giants.

I see beauty in the grungey, dark and damp. I see light where often there is darkness. I take what little I have to make the best of any situation that I am faced with. I push myself even on the days when I am at my lowest and breaking because I can bounce back. Tell me I can’t do something, and I will try a hundred per cent to prove you wrong and show you what I am capable of.
