I love your projects, Carolyn, and your photography. But "Being Inbetween" is special to me because I have a daughter who's this age. And it's wonderful sharing this book with her. Wish you an amazing day!

I am walking a lot at the moment - and this is a great thing, I am taking my camera ( Nikon ZF & kit lens) with me. Looking at textures, moments, light & dark, and interesting things that catch my eye. A visual diary, a photo sketch of the day.

Vouchers
I love mentoring - It can be a game changer. I do a selection of pay it forward sessions every year - but I am really happy to offer mentoring vouchers that can be tailored to suit an individual photographer.

My portrait Heather Fisher is shortlisted for this years Portrait of Britain, & is published in a book by Bluecoat Press. Elite athlete, Heather & I went on a road trip to places that were significant to her, to make a portrait that was honest, raw and about her rather than of her #photograph
