Hello my name is Alice and I am a Southampton-based documentary photographer, artist, and community arts facilitator committed to amplifying underrepresented voices through lens-based storytelling. My work is inspired by my upbringing, and explores themes of class, identity, and social issues. I use portraiture, research, and creative direction to challenge societal narratives.

I'm interested in the political potential of art and often use humor and fantasy to explore this. I aim to work collaboratively with individuals and communities that have been under and/or misrepresented in the media, facilitating co-creation workshops with youth groups, community organisations, charities, schools, and environmental and women's groups. 

My photography spans documentary, portraiture, and fashion, with recent commissions including Southampton Forward: Pub Cultures, which captured the evolving cultural landscape of a community pub. My work has been published in HUCK and Polyester Magazine, and I continue to develop long-form projects that highlight overlooked stories. 

I'm a member of ZEST Collective and Working Class Creatives Database, and my work is supported by 'a space' arts.
