What a privilege to speak to the next generation of image-makers at the V&A's / Moment in Time workshop

I shared my journey, finding my voice through photography after being mute for two years, getting signed, walking away from my agency, and carving out my own place in advertising.

But the conversation that mattered most was about knowing your worth, and knowing the business well enough to protect it.

Young creatives deserve transparency, financial literacy and the confidence to advocate for themselves. We can't expect the creative industry to thrive if the next generation is learning their value through being undervalued.

Stronger photographers build a stronger industry. What we nurture, nurtures us back.

To end such a meaningful day, I left the workshop and watched the solar eclipse. A beautiful and unforgettable way to close the experience:)
