Buki Koshoni. Award-winning artist and founder of RAW, an independent creative studio he built from the ground up across photography, film and music. Fifteen years of practice. One studio. One voice.
I'm also the one who makes what RAW puts out. I shoot the photography. I write the scripts. I score the music. I direct the film. I build the software. RAW isn't a studio I hired people to run. It's a company built entirely around one practice, and that practice is mine.
Disciplines: Photography · Filmmaking · Music · Screenwriting · Code
Fifteen years ago I started as an artist making work to sell, for brands and for collectors. That's still true today, but it's no longer the whole story. Over fifteen years, what began as an individual creative practice grew into something bigger: a studio with three core disciplines, photography, film and music, each one built, designed, and run by me.
I'm a London-based creative entrepreneur. My practice spans fine art photography, filmmaking, music composition, screenwriting, and now software development, and I built a company, RAW, to house all of it. I studied Marketing at the University of Bedfordshire before completing a Certificate in Art Direction at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, a combination that shaped how I think about creative work: as something that has to hold up artistically and commercially at once.
My fine art photography has been exhibited internationally, including as a finalist for the Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize at the National Portrait Gallery, and I'm the recipient of the GoSee Award Gold Medal for Fashion Photography, presented by Rankin. My work has been featured in Vanity Fair, The Sunday Times, The British Journal of Photography, and The Independent. As a filmmaker, I've spent fifteen years producing music video, documentary, and branded film work for major and independent label artists, with a client list including Adidas, Sony Music, Universal Records, BMG Music, JD Sports, H&M, Revolut, and Cambridge Audio. My screenwriting has been recognised in several international competitions, including as a finalist in the Creative World Awards Screenwriting Category.
What ties all of it together isn't a medium, it's how I work: I build things myself, start to finish, and I run them as a business, not just a body of work. That's why RAW exists as a company with divisions rather than a personal portfolio with categories. Each division, RAW Art, RAW Films, RAW Music, RAW Corporate, RAW Life, and now RAW Code, is a real part of the business, generating its own work and its own clients, all designed and built by one founder.
