Five years ago! 🤯
The question is, have we progressed or regressed as a society since then. I think we all know the answer...

Youth culture, diversity and renewal. These are topics eloquently laid out with the striking images of the three Best Portfolio Award recipients of the 2026 edition of the Offspring Photo Meet.
Yushi, Ron and Jess bring in a fresh wave of fresh depth. Their work is vivid, honest and visually engaging.
We congratulate the three artists as well as all the participating artists for sharing compelling stories and perspectives.
Thanks to the partners whose generosity materialises in career-changing opportunities for our winners.
Kudos to the Printspace, BJP, Hahnemühle, the RPS, Newspaper Club and The Art House.

Thank you to everyone who came to view my work at @somersethouse for the @worldphotoorg Sony World Photography Awards, where I was shortlisted for the professional portrait category.
To the Kalamadu community in Accra, Ghana, you are a force of nature and thank you for allowing me into your beautiful community and sharing your stories!

It was my honour to be photographed by the magnificent @rontimehin . These are just some of the images from what was a very special afternoon in which I felt witnessed at this moment with an intimacy I find so rare, and a gift that only the best photographers can give.
Thank you @rontimehin and thank you @afshaartistry for the way in which you held our day together. Thank you both for your art and thank you for your hearts.
Thank you as always @thesoulstylist__ for styling, and the journey of embodiment we’re on.

Incredibly proud to share that my work has been shortlisted for the Sony World Photography Awards — and that my images will be on display at Somerset House from 17 April until 4 May 2026. 🎉
The series centres on Labadi (La), a Ga community on Accra’s coast. Working with the residents of Kaklamadu, I made portraits on the landing beach and in improvised studios. Boats, nets, a horse, flags becoming shared symbols between us.
The work moves between staged tableaux and quiet observation: boys playing, workers at rest, friends leaning on each other. It’s an invitation to connect with this community on their own terms, with dignity, intimacy, and self-assurance at the centre.
Thank you to everyone at @myrunwaygroup for producing this project, and most of all to the residents of Kaklamadu, whose generosity and openness made it everything it is.

I first collaborated with @david_fadd for a joint feature in @wonderland magazine and @adobe back in 2021.
Who would have known that five years later our paths would keep crossing and that one day, we’d be creating together?
Here are a few images we created recently in my studio @28sunbury .

Favela Brass, Rio de Janeiro. (Part Two) 🎺
This final set of images continues my time documenting Favela Brass. What began with just a handful of students has grown into a space where young musicians learn, rehearse and perform together, including taking part in Rio Carnival each year.
Photographing these students across the neighbourhood allowed me to see how deeply the school is connected to daily life.
Returning to a music-led environment felt deeply personal. Having grown up playing trumpet, I understand how learning an instrument can shape confidence, discipline and belonging. Seeing these students support each other and develop their voices through music was genuinely inspiring!
I put together a small team and spent time listening, observing and making portraits that reflect both the individuals and the community that supports them.
My sincere thanks to @tomashejazz , @Favela_Brass , lighting assistant @a.l.fontes , and guide @danielzsul for helping make this project possible.
And a special thanks to @gaellelanicoise and @wmowbray for the extra support and great energy throughout.
Thank you to the students and teachers for the trust and warmth you shared with us 🙏🏾.
Please head over to the @favela_brass Instagram and website and show them some love! 🫶🏽
Favela Brass, Rio de Janeiro. (Part One)
Favela Brass is a wonderful free music school for children from the Pereira da Silva favela and nearby public schools. It was started in 2014 by British trumpeter Tom Ashe, and now it helps 150 students aged 8 to 18 with wind and percussion classes, as well as early childhood music education. The programme beautifully blends traditional samba from Rio with the rich sounds of New Orleans jazz.
This project is especially meaningful to me. I used to play trumpet, and music has always been a part of my journey into photography, so spending time with these students and teachers felt like a full-circle moment.
I put together a small team and we visited the school and the local area, chatting, listening and making portraits.
I want to express my sincere gratitude to @tomashejazz , @Favela_Brass , lighting assistant @a.l.fontes , and guide @danielzsul , who helped make these moments possible.
Also, a special thanks to @gaellelanicoise and @_wmowbray_ for the extra hands and good vibes!
More to come on this series! 🙏🏾
