itās now been 1 year since I got my hands on my mirrorless camera and went all in on trying to build a career as a creative.
itās been a wobbly year of highs and lows, a year of risk taking, experimenting, learning, pouring investments of time and money into myself and figuring out exactly what it is I want to do. Itās been a year of meeting many many people also doing the same, being inspired by the sacrifices theyāve made and the dreams theyāve brought to life. Itās been a year of turning transactional client relationships into friendships - I work with people now because I believe in them and I want to do what I can to help them achieve their dreams and thatās a lovely thing I didnāt see coming.
itās funny to think that not so long ago I was intimidated by cameras and now Iām on a path to cinematography.
thereās a lot of change in this world right now that makes it impossible to really plan for a career but hopefully Iāll get to at least try by a cinematographer before the world gets too dystopian š
creds to @lexie.francesca for snapping these of me whilst we were waiting for our shoot to start last night š¤
Introducing Storytellhers āØ
Storytellhers is a community for female, trans and non binary creatives who work behind the camera - something Iāve really felt is missing in London.
No matter what phase of your career youāre in, through our events and online community, there will be something for you.
The goal is to build a supportive ecosystem where we can grow in skill, confidence, visibility and power - together.

One from the archives from when I was capturing the work that the NGO, the Tea Leaf Trust, do last year š¤

If you ever find yourself in my home, Sri Lanka, make sure you go to the mountains where the tea plantations are
But donāt just go to Ella, go further, hike along the Pekoe trail, follow the pilgrims up Adams peak, go to Maskeliya
and wake up early, thatās when the leaves glow golden and the god rays shine through the trees
I promise you itās heaven on earth š¤
