It’s hard to believe we’re already at the end of the first month and January has been a busy one for me, both personally and professionally.

As  can sometimes be the case, production took longer than expected, but I’m thrilled to share that my website has finally been redesigned!  It now features many new images, including the ones below.

This commission was from my dear friend Keziah Job, who has embarked on a new chapter of her musical career.  We first met as performers, sharing theatre stages over the years, and now she’s writing and producing for emerging artists on the gospel reggae scene.

Our photo session was more than just a shoot—it was a celebration of decades of friendship.  Between capturing images, we talked up, danced, and sang along to some of our favourite Luther Vandross tunes. It was a joy to merge creativity with nostalgia in such a meaningful way.

As I mentioned in an Instagram post last November, our politics couldn’t be further apart.  However, that didn’t stop me from having a thoroughly enjoyable morning photographing Jacob Rees-Mogg for The Guardian newspaper's G2 supplement.

Upon arriving, the tone was set for the day as I was greeted warmly at the front door by Nanny.  Whilst the former Member of Parliament was being interviewed by Simon Hattenstone I was setting up a small studio in The Red Room.  I asked him about his recent departure from politics and his family's unexpected move into the world of reality television.  It was an interesting glimpse into how public figures navigate reinvention—and a reminder that, sometimes, the most unlikely encounters can be illuminating.

I've created a new section on my site dedicated to sharing some of the socially engaged public art projects I've been commissioned to document. These works are temporary, made possible through the generous donations of spaces by a roster of advertising billboard companies.

One such artist featured is Martin Firrell whose thought-provoking use of language fosters dialogue on crucial topics such as migration, equality, and equitable social organization.  His work challenges audiences to engage with pressing social issues in public spaces, making art a catalyst for meaningful conversations.

Since 2005, Artichoke has been committed to bringing art into civic spaces across the United Kingdom.  By producing large-scale works designed to appeal to broad audiences, it continues to make art accessible and impactful beyond the confines of traditional galleries.
