About
Scottish street photographer, dancer, and disability-rights advocate known for his stark, human-centered black-and-white images that document everyday life in Scotland, his travels, and his life living with MDP syndrome.
Before Fame
He was diagnosed deaf at three years old, autistic at seven years old, and with MDP at ten years old. He began using photography and dance as tools for connection, visibility, and kindness and eventually built a large audience on Instagram and TikTok while exhibiting in respected galleries and festivals. His work and story broke out during and after the 2020 lockdowns. He pursued an HND in Photography at City of Glasgow College and graduated in 2023.
Trivia
He is a committed dancer and has trained with Indepen-dance and the National Youth Dance Company of Scotland. He became the first person with a disability and visible difference to join the National Youth Dance Company of Scotland. He has been an advocate and campaigner for Changing Faces UK and Face Equality International. His story has been frequently referenced by media and charities frequently to explain MDP syndrome because the condition is so rare, as there are fewer than a few dozen documented cases worldwide.
Family Life
He grew up in Shawlands, Glasgow, Scotland. He occasionally posts about loving his mother.
Associated With
His advocacy overlaps with Adam Pearson's work in the face-equality community, including with Changing Faces.
