Can you share a story of your most treasured possession? (and what is it?)

My most treasured possession is a mannequin hand I got from a clear out at college years and years ago.
 
It belonged to a mannequin that lived in my photography classroom and to me, it represents that entire year spent with some of the most amazing people I’ve ever met, and am still friends with to this day. Being a teenager and figuring out life is beyond hard, but that year I spent learning my craft and learning who I was as a person really shaped me to be the woman I am today. 
 

What is the best creative advice you’ve ever been given?

The best creative advice I’ve ever been given is to not wait till things are perfect. If you hide your work away waiting for the day it finally feels perfect in your mind, you’ll never grow as an artist. Put yourself out there, even if you don’t feel 100% ready. It’s the best way to grow. 
 

 

What is your secret dream project?

My secret dream project would be to photograph Miriam Margolyes. She’s the true embodiment of living life the way you want to and not caring about what anyone else thinks.
