This month, a film I produced for London Trading Standards was aired on London Live News as part of their about illegal skin lightening products.

I attended a raid on a shop in East London, to document the search for illegal skin lightening products – which intelligence showed the shop was selling.

The hidden room

At first, the search yielded little results, as only the odd item was found on the shop floor itself.

However, all this changed when officers found a secret room, hidden in the shelving of the stock room. This small, cramped space held thousands of  illegal and dangerous products, some of which contained mercury.

It was a dramatic find and luckily I was there to capture it on film!

Even more than that, it was great to see my hard work make it to TV!
