I'm proud to announce that my new photographic project, A Lifetime's Work, commissioned for Brent 2020 by the London Borough of Brent is now live on Instagram.
During this difficult time of Covid-19 our local businesses have become even more important as a lifeline to society.
Meeting and teaching patients @HoratiosGarden has been incredibly humbling, hearing their stories and watching them exuberantly engage with their new photographic skills.
October 10th marks #worldmentalhealthday2020 and it's almost 3 years to the day since beginning my photographic project Best Days Of Your Life which looks at adolescent self-harm.
Through photo therapy techniques that I used for the project, this has allowed the young people who took part to open up, reveal & disclose with confidence their feelings & emotions and to show the world their empowerment to redefine themselves and move forward with their lives.
As some may know, I am one of the photographers to the @2020visionproj2 where with 100 other photographers across the UK we volunteered our time to produce portraiture of NHS healthcare professionals to be actioned after the Covid-19 pandemic through an exhibition & book.
It was also the first time in over 35 years to meet @sophie_snap who I went to school with and along with @EditsweetLtd put together the 2020 Vision Project. Great to catch up after all these years.
As some know, I’m a contributor @2020visionproj2 where with 100 other photographers across the UK we are volunteering our time to produce beautiful portraiture of NHS healthcare professionals to be actioned after the Covid-19 pandemic through an exhibition and book being planned.
For Joanna, her “me time” is centred around her children and family including Barney the dog. During lockdown apart from working superhard, Joanna has undertaken renovation work to their garden to ensure its user friendly for her cricket mad boys.
My lovely local newspaper, @bktimes have written a story on the Umeria family, owners of Kensal Rise shoe repairers Brown Edwards, a long-established north west London local business that opened its doors in 1914 and since 1984 has been owned and operated by the family.
You can read about it here:

The Umeria family are part of my @brent2020 project and exhibition A Lifetime’s Work, which is about showing what family businesses like Brown Edwards are doing & have done and what they can still do in a post Covid-19 society.
Thank you to reporter @NathalieRaffray from the Brent & Kilburn Times for your support in covering A Lifetime’s Work which I was commissioned for as part of @LBOC2020 from @Brent_Council
