Behind the celebrations and rows of bunting decorating Pall Mall, members of the public wait for the coronation of King Charles the 3rd's procession. As I was drawn to photograph the gathering public I began to notice small groups waiting around the base of the trees lining the edge of Pall Mall, waiting for the shared celebration. To me they appeared solemn - or sad - an expression of their shared boredom while they waited? Even so, it drew me in to photograph the groups - with their shared expressions while waiting for the King.
I live in South East London with my partner and son. My passion for photography started when travelling and volunteering in India, South America and Australia, where I made photo-stories and short films. In 2011 my photograph 'Boy in the water' won the Royal Academy of the Arts Eyewitness Photography competition. During that time I was working as a freelance photojournalist in London covering a wide range of stories and my work appeared in many publications including; The Financial Times, The Guardian, The Times. In recent years I have focused on documentary and street photography
