"XO Barbers is unlike any other barbershop. Operating within the walls of Brixton Prison, it gives individuals the opportunity to learn a valuable trade. Their mission is to reduce reoffending and increase employment opportunities for ex-offenders."

Working within the confines of a prison was a new experience for Owen. Production had to be very nimble with equipment and timings, as the security checks were thorough and every part of the photoshoot process took twice as long.

Throughout his career, Owen has worked with a diverse range of people, from celebrity talent to active gang members. His talent lies in creating an environment where people feel relaxed and can be open to collaboration, showcasing their true selves for the lens. For Owen, he enjoys the process of meeting someone and engaging in conversation as much as taking pictures. The result is images that feel natural, hopeful and human.
