A Reflection of Character
Professional portraits that tell your unique story
ABOUT
I am a photographer based in Manchester who's work is focused on telling people's stories through capturing a true representation. I am currently in my final year of BA (Hons) contemporary photography. I have always been a creative person and found that photography is my medium to express it.
I have spent the last two years collaborating with a veteran community called The Stockport Veterans. I spent time getting to know them and them to know me. It was this work and growth of our professional relationship that resulted in my passion for creating work that has a deep meaning and message behind the frame. Work that will resonate and connect to the audience.
The first project I created with the veterans was formal portraits to acknowledge their service and dedication. The second project focused on showing an intimate perspective to each member of the group, this was a result of my developing relationship with the group.

Still Life
VETERAN ARTIST STATEMENT
This project was a collaborative process between myself and a fellow photographer. It was to create a moment in time of the men and women who have served their country. The youngest veteran is 23 years old, the oldest is 91 years old and between them they have served in every war and operational setting over the last 75 years. These veterans have served in every campaign from Malaya in the 1950s, through to: Cyprus, Aden, The Falklands, Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan.
The intention for this exhibition was to create a platform whereby ordinary men and women who have done extraordinary things are acknowledged. Visitors were able to go to the exhibition including members of the Stockport veterans. To show recognition to the people, remember their names and to give credit to their lives and service. At the end of the exhibition each portrait was presented to the veterans and will be a lasting thank you to them and their families.
