Experimental Videos

In 2018, I photographed people walking around Central London while using their mobile phones.

I have been photographing Trancoso, Bahia, Brazil, since the mid-2000s, when my parents settled there. After spending a year living in the village before moving to London, I returned every year, often for a few months at a time. Over nearly two decades, I have photographed its people, beaches, traditions and everyday life. This personal archive is a portrait of the Trancoso I have come to know and love - its atmosphere, beauty and ordinary moments, beyond the postcard image of the place.

These works are double exposure photos consisting of overlapping photographs taken across different times and places. They include photographs of coastal Brazil where I lived, Brighton where I lived for a year and London where I live now (and some photos from places I have visited). My intention is to create personal images rooted in the world and people I encounter while at the same time exploring a space between reality and imagination. The results I hope are images that have the quality of dreams and memories - including what is familiar and escaping it - inviting the viewer to assign their own interpretation while journeying into their own imagination.

Alongside my work photographing people, I have developed a growing interest in quiet spaces. Often on long walks, I became interested in photographing these environments and their stillness and sense of calm.
