PASSION PROJECTS
Nepali Futurism
Photo Essay
The photo story draws inspiration from
Baroque era painting - its symbolism, chiaroscuro lighting, and formal composition.
The work juxtaposes Nepali and European clothing and accessories to forge the journey of Nepali and European culture as a singular, personal identity.
The essay is divided into three parts: The Future, The Present, and The Past - looking at an optimistic view of whats to come, a confrontation of modern identity and a reflection on the history of Nepal.

Himalayan Soliloquy
Photo Essay
Photographed during a trek to Everest Base Camp, the series captures people, animals, objects and the vast unforgiving beauty of the Himalayas.
The adventure was an opportunity to system reboot as I had been working my ass off, however when I returned home... life quickly set back into my workaholic reality.
Once the photos were developed a couple weeks post trip, it was like looking at a near unrecognisable way of life. The final executions juxtapose the cognitive dissonance between taking the images to seeing them.

I Found Love In London
Poster Series
I was at a pub in Shoreditch and saw "I found love in London" scribbled on a cubicle wall.
The phrase really resonated with me - reflecting on the people I've met, the cultures I'm enveloped in, the architecture that's cemented in my mind to the wonderful experiences I've lived through in this beautiful city.
This led to an ongoing poster series consisting of moments I've captured on my Sony PJ410 as I mooch about London.

ISSUES
Fashion Film
ISSUES is a two-part fashion film series I creative directed, directed and edited, using conceptual storytelling to explore social themes that sit close to my heart.
The first film centres on homosexuality within the British ethnic diaspora, told with tenderness and honesty. The second reflects on feminism, focusing on unity and the power of channelling collective energy toward positive change.
Both films use fashion as a visual language for empathy and understanding, and were released on HUNGER Magazine’s online platform.

Listen
Fashion Film
Listen is a fashion film created in collaboration with musician Parker, centred on the mental health experiences of three models. Each story explores a different emotional landscape — happiness, empathy and struggle — told through an honest, stripped-back interview style.
The film focuses on movement, realism and body language, allowing the human moments to speak louder than the visuals. It became a quiet study of what it means to be seen, heard and understood.
The film was released on NOTION Magazine's platform on World Mental Health Day.
