As a child I grew up in the city of London surrounded by towering buildings and endless traffic. My parents were high-ranking officials within the government, which meant that they often had to work long hours away from home. As a result, I was left to fend for myself most days, relying on my quick wit and intelligence to get me out of sticky situations.

Growing up in this environment made me very self-sufficient and resourceful, but it also gave me a somewhat cynical outlook on life. I learned early on that people can't always be trusted, and that the only person you can truly rely on is yourself. Despite this, I managed to find joy in simple things like reading, painting, and exploring the outdoors.

I eventually moved to the jungle when I was older, where I found a sense of peace and tranquility that I had never known before. It was there that I discovered my passion for photography, and I spent countless hours capturing the beauty of nature through my lens.
