Magazine Dreams is an ongoing photographic series exploring amateur bodybuilding culture in the UK. The series captures the intimate moments that surround the sport, posing routines, council hall stages and last-minute coaching sessions with family

At its heart, the project looks beyond stereotypes of vanity and ego to show bodybuilding as a space of discipline, resilience, and community. I’ve aimed to document the athletes who often balance ordinary lives with extraordinary dedication and sacrifice. Magazine Dreams looks at how niche subcultures can foster authenticity and belonging in an increasingly homogenised world.
