My Story
Buki Koshoni is a London-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans fine art photography, filmmaking, music, and screenwriting. With a career exceeding 25 years, his work operates across the full spectrum of artistic expression, from conceptual fine art portraiture to large-scale commercial brand campaigns, unified by a sustained and deeply human focus on people and their stories.
Koshoni studied Marketing at the University of Bedfordshire, before completing a Certificate in Art Direction at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, a training that continues to inform the precision and cultural intelligence at the core of his visual practice.
His fine art photography has been exhibited at an international level and recognised by some of the most respected institutions in the field. He was selected as a finalist for the prestigious Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize at the National Portrait Gallery, London, one of the world's most prominent open photography competitions and is the recipient of the GoSee Award Gold Medal for Fashion Photography, presented by celebrated photographer and publisher Rankin. His editorial photography has been published across a wide range of respected titles, including Vanity Fair, The Sunday Times, The British Journal of Photography, and The Independent Magazine.
As a filmmaker and content director, Koshoni has spent over two decades producing music video, documentary, and branded film work for major and independent label artists across broadcast and digital platforms. His commercial photography and film work has attracted a distinguished client roster that includes Adidas, Sony Music, Universal Records, BMG Music, JD Sports, H&M, Revolut, and Cambridge Audio, among many others.
Koshoni's screenwriting practice has earned further recognition within competitive international circuits; he was named a finalist in the Creative World Awards Screenwriting Category, a semi-finalist in the Emerging Screenwriters Genre Screenplay Competition, and a quarter-finalist in both the WeScreenplay Diverse Voices Competition and The Film Empire Diversity Mentorship Programme, all in 2021.
At the heart of all his work is a commitment to narrative and portraiture as vehicles for cultural resonance. Whether directing a fine art series, producing a brand campaign, or developing an original screenplay, Koshoni brings the same rigorous aesthetic sensibility and storytelling intelligence to bear. He is currently available for brand partnerships, commissions, and collaborative projects, while continuing to develop his fine art practice and original creative work across film and writing.
