Meet Soven

I’m So Glad You’re Here

Photography wasn’t my first calling. I wasn’t one of those photographers with a camera around their neck since they were two. I hold a Master’s in IT from the University of Glasgow and have spent years solving problems at Barclays, Royal London, IBM, and JP Morgan.

What’s shaped my success isn’t a childhood hobby; it’s relentless curiosity and a determination to master my craft. Every award I’ve earned in photography comes from that, not nostalgia.

I’ve always loved solving complex problems, which is probably why photography hooked me. It’s still problem-solving, just with a different lens. I’m figuring out, “Where’s the best light?” or “How could I capture that story with different energy or from a different angle?” My mindset has shifted from structured logic to creative observation.

Nothing has shaped me more than my daughter, Selina. She’s the best thing I’ve ever created (no offence to my portfolio). We travel, laugh, and share street food in places we can’t always pronounce.

She’s taught me the value of being present. That’s what I bring to your wedding: not just a camera, but an understanding of what truly matters.

Travel has allowed me to appreciate different cultures and perspectives. It helps me see beyond clichés and stereotypes, enabling me to capture your story in a genuine, unstaged way.
