Taylor Wessing Time - Long shot!
27.7.16
I have made it into this show before at the National Portrait Gallery, but haven't entered now for quite a few years. The £10 entry (per image) has gone up to £28 (!) and there are around 6,000 entries for around 50 slots. It's a very long shot, but I do love this image of 'Kirsty, awaiting gastric bypass surgery', an outtake from the shoot for the Guardian Weekend Magazine - Teenage Obesity story.
Somme 100
1.7.16
A triptych I made on a visit to the Somme in 1995, on a Brighton Uni exchange to the Art School in Amiens, France.
A shell hole, my grandfather, a trench.
'Redefining Juliet' Portraits at the Barbican
3.5.16
Incredible day at the Barbican photographing the five Juliets in Storme Toolis's stunning creation 'Redefining Juliet'.
Amazing to be asked to make portraits of these 5 Juliets with disabilities and differences, not fitting the popular mould. Here is Lara, who is deaf and performed entirely with sign language. Beauty and power on stage, I've never seen... Here signing 'Romeo, Romeo'.
Thank you Storme!
Conference in Kings Lynn
15.4.16
Again, today I was speaking to around 200 people in Kings Lynn. Understanding Stanley really does speak to people and move them. Sold 40 books and had a queue of people wanting to talk to me about how much they could relate to it and how it had given them a deeper meaning and understanding of autism. So, so thrilled.
