The London Hackney Barbers
Feature 5
Have you ever walked into a place, for the first time and realise that it was meant to be? That’s how I felt when I walked into this barber saloon. I am always sceptical about who barbs my hair, but these guys impressed me beyond my imaginations. If you are in East London, and lockdown is over, get them a try.

Mark Anthony - Artist
Feature 6
Talent can be found anywhere. Literally anywhere. I met Mark in Brixton Village while I was doing a photoshoot and fell in love with his artistic vision. Its the combination of his vision with his talent and personality that made me like him, and admire his artistry more

Kenny - Sound Engineer

I met Kenny one faithful evening when I went for dinner with a friend. He was the waiter at House of Momo in Dalston, and always gave me a stare when he walked pass our table. Then I realised he knew my brother and a worked with one of my client. Small world right.
Niamh - Entrepreneur

So I was working, taking photos at an event, when this lady walks in with her friend. Stole the room, not only for her beauty but also for her seamless smile and laugh. I found out he is a lot more and has a beautiful energy.
Becksy Becks - Spoken-word Artist

I have never been one to openly love spoken word but do love listening to how they relate a version of their life, past or present, through rhyming . Becksy Becks perform at one of the sofa sounds I attended and gave a breath taking performance.
