My work operates in the liminal space between documentary and fiction, engaging photography as a meta-documentary practice to interrogate representation and power. At times, I transform commissions into conceptual provocations – whether capturing actors like Owen Cooper, whose role in Adolescence (2025) refracts the toxic ideologies of the manosphere, or creating site-specific works like Echo Chamber (2025), a photograph that mirrors its own environment to destabilize notions of authenticity and reality. 

Each project dissects the medium’s role in shaping social narratives. By blurring the lines between reality and performance, I expose how images construct – rather than merely reflect – cultural truths. From hyper-masculinity’s grip on youth culture to the recursive and problematic illusions of photographic representation, my work invites viewers to confront the contested space where politics and power, imagery and identity collide. 

Through this framework, I position photography as both artifact and critique – a mirror held to the contradictions of our temporal and mediated world, demanding we look closer, think deeper, and question the stories we assume to be reflections of truth.
