He didn’t just create superheroes. He created a blueprint for how modern culture thinks about power, pain, identity — and redemption. From Spider-Man’s guilt to the X-Men’s exile, from the pages of pulp comics to billion-dollar movie screens, Stan Lee rewired the mythologies of the modern world. But behind the catchphrases and cameos was a man caught between truth and persona, legacy and loneliness, spotlight and shadow. This book goes beyond the fan letter. It’s a deep-dive into the masks he wore — and the world he left behind.

Finding Me: From Imposter to Icon is the raw, unfiltered story of how I went from pretending to be someone else to becoming a two-time Photographer of the Year. It’s about the setbacks that nearly broke me, the unexpected moments that shaped me, and the lessons I learned from capturing one of the fastest, most chaotic sports in the world. More than a memoir about paintball or photography, this is a journey of identity, resilience, and discovering what happens when you stop living for others and start living for yourself.

What begins as a meditation on photography evolves into something much deeper—a journey through art, memory, and self-discovery.

Instead, it unfolds naturally—like a photograph developing in the darkroom—capturing the beauty of imperfection, the uncertainty of time, and the ways art shapes the way we see ourselves and the world around us.

The short-lived Blitz club in London's Covent Garden was more than somewhere to hang out or be seen: it was a catalyst for cultural explosion, a counter-culture blast against everything Thatcher's leadership had ushered in by the dawn of the 80s. In Blitz, Elms reflects on a club night founded by working-class kids, one whose impact reverberated beyond its doors, through the worlds of Art, Literature, Fashion and Music, and into the present day.
