Hello!

I’m Mary, a 22-year-old photographer based in London. I started photography in 2023 while studying Interior Design at university, after discovering street photographers whose work captured real, honest moments. That curiosity quickly turned into something more, and I began teaching myself photography through constant practice, experimenting with both digital and film.

I have developed a passion for documenting culture and people from diverse communities around the world. I’m drawn to everyday life, shared experiences, and the stories that connect people across different places. Alongside this, I’ve developed a strong interest in photojournalism and global events, using photography as a way to observe, understand, and tell stories about the world around me. My work is focused on storytelling, travel, and building a portfolio that reflects curiosity, connection, and respect for the people and cultures I photograph.

Please take a look through my portfolio!
