2022 was a year taken up with a multitude of things, including trips to Yorkshire, Sweden and Denmark but was a bit of a quiet year photography wise. In terms of creative work 2023 seems to be making a comeback and I have few pieces of recent news to share:
Analogue Wonderland shared a few of my photographs on their Instagram account back in December as part of their regular Sunday Feature. You can find the Instagram post here and if you would like to see the full set of images I have now added them to the projects page on the website here.
Ilford Photo runs a monthly series of interviews with photographers on their website and for their 66th interview they are featuring me, alongside some of my B&W film work. You can find the interview here if you would like to read it.
Taking part in the interview made me realise I haven’t shown any of my B&W photography on the website so far, so I will make sure to change that in future.
In non-photography related news, I’m also thrilled to share that I have recently been shortlisted for The Disabled Poets Prize 2023 for my poem Paper Houses. The prize announcement is taking place on 18 March at the Deptford Literature Festival and is livestreamed, BSL interpreted and live captioned. If you would like to attend the online announcement you can do so here.
Update: The poem won 2nd placed at The Disabled Poetrs Prize 2023, which mean I can now add award winning poet to the list of ways I could describe myself.
