On the 16th of October 2025, after finishing a shoot in London, my camera gear was stolen at a train station on my journey home. In just a few moments, I lost the tools that have allowed me to tell stories, capture memories, and build my dream as a freelance photographer.

As many of you know, photography isn’t just my job — it’s my passion and the way I connect with people, celebrate milestones, and bring stories to life. Over the past two years, I’ve poured everything into growing my small business, often travelling across the country to photograph events, brands, and individuals who’ve trusted me to capture their most meaningful moments. I have also in that time done my first exhibition featuring Women refugees and telling their stories to raise awareness for migration and the plight of refugees.

The support and encouragement I’ve received from friends, family, and clients along the way has meant the world to me. I’m incredibly grateful for every message, booking, share, and kind word — it’s what keeps me going.

Now, I’m humbly asking for a bit of help to get back on my feet. The funds raised will go directly toward replacing essential camera equipment so I can continue my work, honour my commitments, and rebuild what was lost.

I completely understand that times are tough for everyone right now, so please don’t feel any pressure — even sharing this page or sending a message of support means a lot. Every little bit helps, and I’m deeply grateful for anything you can do.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for being part of my journey. Your kindness will help me get back to doing what I love most — telling stories through my lens.

With gratitude,

Oscar Mucyo
