Portrait play

A few days ago Emma McGarry and I took some portraits of one another. We hadn't planned to. It came about as a result of some test shots Emma was taking for a new project she is currently researching. We took it in turn to take each other's portrait, swapping between shots directed by the person taking photographs, to shots directed by the person being photographed. 

It became quite an interesting game, seeing both the similarities and the differences in the way one chooses to present themself in front of the camera, compared to the way in which the person behind the camera wants to portray that person.

In an attempt to procrastinate from starting my tax return, I have been sifting through some of my old photos. I came across this series, taken during the time my sister's first child, and my niece - Anna - was born.

Anna is now eight and a half years old, and she has been joined by a younger brother and sister - Tommy and Isla (making me a very happy aunty three times over!)

Pictures of pictures

I was recently commissioned to take images of Whitecross Street Market for use in a new UBS office building on Golden Lane.

Once the building was ready and people had started moving in, I was asked back to photograph the different spaces. Below are two images of the canteen area in which a couple of my market photographs are being used.
