The brief was simple, go out into the streets and capture the atmosphere. Do not focus on the wedding itself, but the life around it.

Women in Science - Visual storytelling and adapting to Covid 19 restrictions

As we were in the middle of Level 5 restrictions, due to Covid-19, the challenge was around how we could actually create this. I decided upon a remotely-directed self-portrait and used a DJI Mavic Air II to get drone footage. Thus allowing a photoshoot and a campaign to go ahead without being impacted by the severe restrictions currently being placed on photographers. Working with Covid means adapting to challenges faced.

2020 - a year in review - part one

My maternity leave was finishing the week lockdown was first enforced. All booked work was cancelled and I realised that all plans for 2020 were slowly crumbling. With no idea of how the year would go, I reverted to the photography I love and started a small black and white documentary series within my 2km restricted area.
