glyn maxwell portraits

I photographed the poet Glyn Maxwell the other day. It was good to meet him as he previously selected an image of mine for his latest collection of poetry 'Hide Now' that was shortlisted for the T.S. Eliott Prize for Poetry in 2009.

Glyn's libretto for the new opera, 'Seven Angels', will be staged at the Linbury Studio Theatre at The Royal Opera House in July.

save our skills - deustche bank award finalists

I have spent a great deal of time over the past couple of months working with the very lovely and passionate knitwear designer - Zoe Grace Fletcher - on a pitch for the Deustche Bank Award 2011.

We travelled to the Lake District and Yorkshire to meet wool producers, wrote a business plan, made a film, and I started a new project photographing people who create and tend the most beautiful things with their hands.

It has been an enjoyable and challenging adventure - we worked brilliantly together and produced a great pitch that was highly praised by the judges at Deutsche Bank and the University of the Arts.
