My first photo-book titled, Everything Will Kill You, So Choose Something Proactive, is a collection of images shot from 2018 to 2022. The images in this book were shot entirely during my time at university in Swansea, stretching from my initial year as a BA Photojournalism and Documentary student up to the very end of my time as an MA postgraduate. While most of the photos were shot in Britain, I have also shared a selection of my work covering protests in both America and France.
Topics such as Brexit, Black Lives Matter, Kill the Bill, Antifascist, Anti-Islamist EDL, football hooligans, Free Palestine, abortion, Anti-Lockdown, Donald Trump, and plain Anarchism are all featured in this work and it was these challenging issues that have piqued my interest in documenting more than what we see on TV, images and sound deemed uncivil for a common audience.
I would like to thank a number of people that have either directly or indirectly supported my work throughout the years, allowing me to continue sharing these stories, the people that encompass them and their impact on the way we live our lives.

"Helping Keith with His Photography" has been a project I've worked on and off over the last 2 years and has taken a new direction in the form of different visual imagery.
Keith, my blind friend, someone who relies so heavily on the auditory and kinesthetic, has managed to engage with photography and communicate his creativity without these elements.
Keith shares his own personal history, his outlook on philosophy, and has also taped from the safety of his home, various people over the years that he believes to be "a danger to society".
