I came to photography quite late in my adult life. With no formal training, I began photographing some of the people she encountered as I commuted to and from work. People who don't appear to have enough to eat. People who don't seem to have any family. People for whom, the street, is the last resort.
Getting to know these 'outsiders', I discovered that the reasons for living on the streets were far more complex than those frequently used by society to conveniently draw a veil over their existence.
Amazed at the gritty reality that is all around us, I quickly realised that these people possess vulnerability and strength in equal measure. Photographing them has become a way for me to express myself and share her view of the world, with all it's different shades and colours
So, for the last two years, has been seeking out and, with their permission, capturing images and 'giving them the dignity so often denied by society'. I have continuously posted her images on websites created to 'invite' criticism, and through this hard process has established my own accomplished style.

I have recently began commissions for people that wish to have self portraits taken and portrayed in an artistic manner.
