A Gambian-British creative professional, Haze began his journey while studying Photography at the University of East London, launching his first studio in 2009 before going on to build an international career spanning fashion, commercial, editorial, and corporate sectors.
Haze’s expertise spans the full spectrum of visual and brand communication, encompassing photography, film, and fashion with a refined focus on editorial, commercial, and ecommerce imagery. His skillset includes commercial photography, portraiture, advertising campaigns, workplace photography, and still-life production, underpinned by meticulous pre-production planning, creative consultation, and advanced lighting techniques.
