I'm honoured to have played a part in this incredible photographic project from the RPS Women in Photography Group

The 40% Project celebrates the remarkable women who currently make up 40% of the UK Parliament, and I got to photograph our Cornwall-based MPs, Jayne Kirkham for Truro and Falmouth and Anna Gelderd MP

Digital Camera World has just published a great article too - read more here: https://www.digitalcameraworld.com/photography/photojournalism/this-isnt-about-politics-its-about-representation-this-project-turns-a-statistic-into-stunning-portraits-documenting-the-milestone-40-percent-female-representation-in-british-parliament

The lead for the project and Chair of the RPS WiP Group, Sue Wright, has been doing a sterling job and is now keen to chat to potential Supporting or Lead Partners for the upcoming book.

We’re keen to connect with organisations that value representation, women’s leadership, photography, and documenting history as it happens.

If this resonates, or you know someone it might suit, please email Sue via [email protected]

While visiting Vannes during our holiday, I was delighted to discover the photography and soundscapes of and at Le Kiosque.

Such a sensory experience that I felt immersed in, with images and sounds melding exquisitely.

I’m sharing just a few pictures of their exhibition here. See the last image for a rough translation of the story behind their collaborative work.

The exhibition Le Murmure des Égarés is on until mid-June, so if you find yourself in Vannes, France, I recommend a visit!

🔥It’s time to nurture our Creativity as the wheel of the year turns with Beltane

New routes take shape for me as we move into summer

I’m overjoyed to return to my PhD and begin a new role

If you are longing for new beginnings or the birth of new ideas, I hope they will bloom

Happy May Day 🌸

Unfixed lumen x digital ‘fix’

Two more from my series.

This time its unfixed lumens created in collaboration with the stream and combined with a photograph of the natural iron-oxidising bacteria recreating a ‘rainbow sheen’
(or perhaps given the location, iron-rich water draining from historic mine shafts).

This project explores how eco-conscious photography can mediate between humans and the rights of riverscapes.

It is entwined with hydrofeminism and links to while delving into the uncanny sensations watery places can stir.

Sharing a small selection of images on from my series

This series explores how eco-concious photography can mediate between humans and the riverscapes

It is linked to the uncanny aspect of watery spaces, their unsettling ‘knowing’ that reminds us of our impact on their static and fluid environment

The project also foregrounds the female connection to waterscapes through my own response and that of other

Thanks as always to the for their support

More to follow soon 🩵📷💚

Thankful to and for nurturing their idea for the residency, formed last September when wandering the woods and winding paths through the wetland at

I’m honoured to have been invited to participate. Spending time on-site to create for my project has been so fabulous - I will share more soon - but spending time with my talented creative ‘sisters’ has meant so much

The Pavilion was filled with different styles and intriguing perspectives across paintings, photography, sketches, prints and more

Visitors collaborated on a giant collective artwork too, while our art raffle and sales raised £270 for Growing People CIC and community projects on-site.

Thank you to everyone who visited but big hugs to Tamsin and Sharon and .ivyprideaux - - - - you are all stars

Watch this space!
