During June - November 2020 I photographed 112 of Salisbury’s children, compiling a series of portraits that chronicles how, despite upheaval and challenge, these children found real positives from their lockdown experience. Heartwarming, uplifting stories of how children discovered a love of nature, even their own siblings(!), undertook physical challenges, helped their community. Many many more, each one with a unique story.

​

It is a body of portraits that document a generation of children in the wake of this unprecedented event in their lives, and how the effect of lockdown has shaped their view on what is important to them and potentially how they live their future lives.

​

We raised £5000 for The Stars Appeal and Action for Children, and produced a limited edition, large-format book of the children’s portraits and their stories – copies of which were presented to Earl of Pembroke and Duchess of Cambridge as patrons of the charities.

 

One of the images was shortlisted out of 166,000 entries for a Sony World Photography Award in 2021, an absolute highlight of my career.
