About me
I am a London-based portrait and performance photographer who has been photographing her communities both intimate and extended for over 20 years. I am interested in documenting the everyday lives of people who wouldn’t ordinarily be documented thereby facilitating an experience of feeling seen through a photographic process. My practice’s main motivation is to promote, elevate and showcase the communities, organisations, events, art, artists, writers and academics she photographs.Based in London since 2007, I have been working in the UK’s publicly funded culture sector establishing a strong network of personal and professional community ties within London, the UK and internationally. My work engages with and supports artists and organisations with portraiture and through portraiture, photographic documentation of performance, cultural heritage and arts activity by and for local communities, in galleries, museums, universities, schools and public venues in London and across the UK.
