THE FULL STORY
Authorship & Vision
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 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 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 appeared across respected titles including Vanity Fair, The Sunday Times, The British Journal of Photography and The Independent Magazine. His commercial clients include Adidas, Sony Music, Universal Records, BMG, JD Sports, H&M and Revolut.
As a filmmaker, Koshoni has spent over two decades producing music video, documentary and branded film work. His screenwriting has earned recognition in competitive international circuits including the Creative World Awards and Emerging Screenwriters Genre Screenplay Competition.
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 every project.
