City Inspiration
The move from Manchester to London for me was, scary, important
and exciting. Moving to London was needed to give me a bigger canvas and for me
to learn and experience new things.
I grow up in Manchester, grown up with the culture and the
drama. The city inspired me, so when i started photography and graphic design,
I had a lot to work with. I agree Manchester isn’t as full and exciting as London
but that was my starting point. I have access to roof tops, high street dark corners
and broken areas as well as the clean cut.
Were my family lives is medium class, but I often travelled to
the main city with friends to explore. I come from and British/African family,
back at home in Manchester they have an area called moss side, which is perceived
as the dangerous black people area, but through going there and photographing I
have found that even though people believe that if you’re from there your
dangerous I have found that that’s were you find the most, upset and sad people
of all, but even so they still smile.
As a fashion and editorial photographer I had the perfect
backdrop. Since photography i have found that places that may seem beautiful
and nice are often the ugliest.
