“Great photography is about depth of feeling, not depth of field.” Peter Adams
Behind the Scenes
Recently, I was selected to participate in SCAD’s latest photo alumni creative challenge inspired by the launch of SCAD FASH’s exhibition, Robert Fairer Backstage Pass: Dior, Galliano, Jacobs, and McQueen. The theme of this challenge was to create work that highlights a behind-the-scenes moment. For the challenge, I chose to create an image documenting my daughter getting ready before we go out to shoot scenes in the English Countryside.
Twilight at the Burghley House
Mid January, snow began to fall just north of us. Determined to find snow, I decided to take my chances and visit the Burghley Estate. I was delighted to discover a light snowfall had blanketed the parkland overnight. It was so enchanting that I decided to return later that day with my daughter Fefe to create these images.
2020: Through the Door
I wanted to create an image that would mark the year of 2020 while also signaling the transition to a new year. Fefe and I created this final image for 2020 together on the eve of Dec 31st as the sun set on the year.
Reclaiming Beauty
Reclaiming Beauty is a collection of images of my daughter in the English Countryside. This collaborative body of work tells the story of a mother and daughter bond in the aftermath of trauma. The English Countryside is their Secret Garden.
