“Talking People returns to shoreditch house with another exploration of what it is to enter into a
‘loving’ relationship, but this time there’s a twist. both characters have young children. so we’ll be asking what it is to be looking for love in the 21st century when you have a child and deep meaningful responsibilities at home.”
visual experiment 001 by me.
all the love to the team for showcase 💫
my latest work for the ‘talking people’ campaign.
nemide + jordan • next up at shoreditch house.
precious, elina • masterminds! grateful for you, magicmakers✨
a few frames of a few faces depicting a few firsts:

i shot on B&W film for the first time,
i developed my own film for the first time
- forever grateful + forever the student
