The colours in Tanzania are so vibrant and varied that I am almost certain there must be more shades here than there were in England, my homeland.
I used to take many photographs in black and white, but in Dar Es Salaam, it seems such a waste to ignore the vast spectrum of shades that spill out on to the streets everyday.
Here are my some of my latest street photographs, in which I have tried to capture the brighter shades of East Africa.
