London, City of

I’m a London-based photographer with roots in Congo and Belgium, and a deep love for storytelling through images. My work spans travel, lifestyle, and hospitality photography. With years of experience behind the lens and a passion for cultural connection, I now offer unique photo experiences that blend authenticity, style, and personality—whether you’re looking for creative headshots or elevate your brand. Let’s capture something unforgettable together.

My Story

Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, raised in Belgium, and based in London, I bring a multicultural perspective and a deep curiosity for the world’s diverse cultures to every frame I capture. My journey began in travel photography—storytelling through a culturally sensitive lens—and has since evolved into a broader practice spanning lifestyle and commercial work.  My work was featured in a collaborative exhibition between Fujifilm and the UK Black Female Photographers community, which was awarded Exhibition of the Year 2024 by Amateur Photographer Magazine. I also collaborate with Save the Children on photography projects supporting their work in Central Africa and the UK.  Now, I partner with brands, creatives, and organisations to create impactful visual stories—balancing editorial depth with commercial clarity. One of my long-term ambition is launching a photography collective to support emerging talent and make professional photography more accessible to small businesses.
