LCC symposium: In Your Face

I was recently asked to be a key speaker at In Your Face - a symposium held at London College of Communication on photography and faces. It was a really interesting day, and great to be involved.  

Other speakers included Debbie Challis, who spoke about photography's dark history with physiognomy and eugenics, Cameron Foote, curator at Whitechapel who talked about Thomas Ruff's work, and Caroline Wilkinson from Facelab. My talk focused on my long term project The Study of Peter Pan.

Otti and Liv photoshoot at Walthamstow Toy Library

Timing had it that soon after returning to work post having twins I was approached by the founder of the new company Otti and Liv - a brand and online shop for all things twin related - to see if I was available to take some marketing and stock photos for the company

The shoot took place last month at a weekly twin club at Walthamstow Toy Library. Here is a sneak preview of one of the images (and some of the lovely Otti and Liv babygrows)...
