Super over the moon to announce that I'm now with @looptalentcrew ✨ Thank you to all the camera department huns who have supported me and taught me so far along the way ❤ Very excited for this next chapter 🥰 For all work enquiries please contact absolute top babe Daisy at [email protected] // +44203 488 6599

Some highlights from 2021 (or at least what pics I managed to get on my cameras) in no particular order: Meeting and working with the best people in both stunning and crazy locations in all types of conditions. Grateful for every opportunity so far as an AC 🙏🎬 Holding my own first art exhibition, with the help and support of my friends and fam. Super overwhelmed and humbled by everyone who supported in various ways. And then having some of my photography in a group exhibition the following month, which was mad but so fun! Getting to see my friends get married, being a bridesmaid and also seeing various friends make huge achievements and strides with their businesses 💕 Spending more time with friends and family, especially towards the end of the month (excl. Xmas Day though 🙃) And getting covid and isolating with my two best friends, where Julia cooked breakfast for us every morning and Ruby made us watch all three extended LOTR films. Big love ❤ and looking forward to what the next year brings ✨ And big thanks to @chan.photographic for developing all my rolls and being the best.

Very scared but also very excited to announce that I'm holding my own first exhibition this month called 'Dolor Y Color' at Platform Southwark on the 26th and 27th November. Dolor Y Color translates from Spanish to Pain and Colour. This resonates with the past couple years through the pandemic, and these main works touch on the themes of vulnerability, self love and the continuous journey of trying to understand our bodies. All things that are painful but equally joyful. I've loved art since I was little, but I picked it up again during some dark times in lockdown and it's been the most fun, therapeutic and freeing experience. Basically I fucking love it and I just want to share the fun I've had making this work with others too. Opening night is going to be a celebration of these experiences and feelings, so stay tuned for more info. But for now just know free drinks, definitely tequila shots, dancing, maybe a disco ball and feeling like a mfing sexy af g. If you're free I hope you can come along, bring your friends, bring your lovers, if not, please share as I would greatly appreciate it and yeah let me know if you can make it! Thanks to everyone that's been supportive so far 💕 Need to go back to balancing working, painting more, putting this altogether and not having a nervous anxious breakdown about it all (will probs def happen, although I think I'm having lil daily ones), so catch you soon with more updates and hopefully see you there. Big love always ❤ X

Reminiscing of summer and @kerslakeb and @liam_mac33 wedding celebrations in Devon 💫 Recently got this B&W roll processed that I didn't realise had some cheeky numbers on the dancefloor (end of the slide).

A good friend and very important person in my life, Sheila Harvell passed away last month and we said goodbye to her last week. She was the landlady of The Cricketers Arms, the oldest pub in Bournemouth, and she let us film our grad doc there, Crickland back in 2016. We weren't meant to make this film at all originally, and it's been the greatest blessing and gift that we did, because I gained a whole family. After we finished filming Sheila offered me a job at the Cricks, as a student I was thrilled, I now had more drinking money, most of which I spent at the pub when my shift finished and I went to the other side of the bar again. She'd always tell me that with bar work skills you could work anywhere in the world and when I graduated and she gave me my last pay, she added an extra £40 for me. When the film was complete we did a private screening of it at the pub and Sheila awarded us with some fake Oscars. It then screened it at the BFI Southbank with the rest of the student films that year. She loved that day and felt like a true film star and was so proud of her pub. The film went on to screen at Cheap Cuts Doc Fest in Hackney the following year or so. A group of 15 odd locals from the pub drove up from Bournemouth to go and make the biggest and best ruckus at Picturehouse Hackney and then later on around the corner at The Globe In the Morning Lane pub around the corner where there was a unexpected karaoke night. It's safe to say that I've gone back to visit the pub many many times over the years since then. Sheila was at the heart of this community, and was someone who would help anybody, and she did. I never properly posted the link anywhere myself of the film, so it seems right to now. I know that Sheila was proud of it, and her pub and the community she helped create build and maintain around her. I've posted the link in my bio if you're interested in watching it, as well as a fundraiser for Macmillan in Sheila's name for those that knew her. RIP Sheila, Queen of Crickland ❤
