Photography Workshops and Lectures:
Since 2016 I have lived and worked predominantly in China as a Senior Lecturer/researcher in Photography and Fashion Communication, interspersed with teaching in the UK, Dubai and Amsterdam. My creative practice is rooted in collaboration and communication across cultures, exploring the joy of mistakes, miscommunication and hybridity.
I have delivered and facilitated a number of workshops for schools, universities and academies in UK, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Netherlands and Dubai alongside being a guest speaker.
