A pilot Fighter jeT and watch built for precision.
This film started as still images.
Every frame was created using AI, then carefully animated into motion.
From cockpit instruments to runway takeoff, each scene was built piece by piece and then edited and structured in Premiere Pro to shape the final narrative.
For me, this isn’t about replacing craft — it’s about expanding it.
AI is a technology that is here to stay, and I’m exploring how it can become part of my visual language. A new tool to experiment with storytelling, rhythm, atmosphere and cinematic tension.
The future of image-making is evolving.
I’m choosing to experiment with it rather than ignore it.

Some more images from last year work for Christopher Ward.
The series combines a real, hand-built miniature set with an AI-generated background. With the rapid advancements in AI technology, I’ve been exploring how it can intersect with traditional storytelling. By integrating AI with tangible, real-world aesthetics, I’m able to push my artistic boundaries while experimenting with innovative and potentially cost-efficient production methods.
The featured timepiece is a diver’s watch, so I designed an image that visually conveys that story.

The weight of thoughts
Kicking the new year with one more image from the conceptual still-life project exploration of mental health, created specifically for . The challenge was translating complex, invisible psychological states into clear, commercially readable visuals without relying on faces or clichés.
Using paper cuts, sculptural forms, figurines, wool, and bold colour palettes, each image was meticulously built by hand, photographed, and lit to balance symbolism with visual clarity. The creative process focused on simplifying mental health narratives into universal metaphors—fragility, overload, imbalance, isolation, and healing—while maintaining strong graphic impact suitable for editorial and commercial use.
The result is a series of minimal yet expressive images designed to communicate emotional depth through materiality, colour, and form.
