C.R.E.A.M (Cheescake Rules Everything Around Me) is a story I wrote based on my friend Nezyah of what it really means to be a self-starter today and lengths we go to make a living. Nezyah is poet and baker creating cheesecakes from his home and selling them across London via his Instagram page (Slices For Prices) and his carm driving throughout the night. I was commissioned by Kodak to tell it using their new camera smartphone the Kodak Ektra. The story was exhibited at The British Photography Show at the Birmingham Nec in 2018.
