Some people have the ability to stay always uniquely themselves without masks or filters. This is how Martin Parr seemed to me and the images he made were the same. He seemed to look at the world in all its mad imperfection and made pictures that weren’t judging, just saying “look at it all, isn’t it all just weird and brilliant?”. I never met him, I wish I had, but when I heard that he had passed away I felt knocked. Without ever really thinking about it consciously he was someone who was a solid cornerstone of my photographic house. When I first saw his images I felt relieved and excited…I loved the unabashed, direct gaze (and colour of course) and I remember thinking ‘oh right, so photography can be this too. You can make it exactly what you want it to be…it’s your play dough to make and shape’. Thank you Martin.

As well as all the imagery he gave us, the view of Britain he reflected back to us which is invaluable, and so many other things he also created The Martin Parr foundation which supports emerging, established and overlooked photographers making work that focuses on Britain and Ireland. This, like the man himself, is a cornerstone to British and international photography.

Ben Smith’s podcast A Small Voice is the best photography podcast out there and so, if you want to hear great conversations with Martin have a listen to episodes 091 and 197.

Thank you to ND Awards and the jury members for the selection and award!! Congratulations to Anna Poroshina and Yueheng Han.

The images selected are from my series “More Than You Could Ever Know”:

“Things were separated out into neat categories and it has taken millennia to work out that we live in a web of
intricately connected plants, fungi, conditions of weather, climate, terrain....that we are one thing”
Laura Beatty’s Looking for Theophrastus @

More Than You Could Ever Know is a response to humankind’s understanding of the reality of it’s destruction of the environment, and the growing awareness of the infinite complexity of the natural world that is developing along side it. As we try to catch up in our knowledge of the vastly interconnected nature of things, a reverence for nature is emerging. The realisation that we are not dominant or in charge or separate, but rather we as a species are just one thread in the tapestry. Each thread is equally vital for the overall image to make sense and to hold together. The rapid pace of modern life has also created a greater need to spend time in natural landscapes to reconnect with ourselves.

My work has always taken me far from home to record other peoples stories and as I get older my work has come closer and closer to home. Now in peri-menopause I am finding the greatest point of connection in creating abstract images that encourage us to feel our connection with nature and our connection with ourselves: our essential thread. The images in this work use a feminine presence and colour to express a visceral and emotional experience. In these images nature takes precedent, and body and soul merge with the landscape.

Making these images has meant living the connection the work intends to convey. Rising before dawn, wadding through ice cold water, and digging my toes deep into the forest floor; each has been nourishing, grounding and deeply rewarding.

I took a little break from social media over the summer and so I am a little behind the times in giving a shout out to the Lionesses on their incredible Euros win. Their achievement is hugely inspiring. It has been amazing watching the women’s game grow from strength to strength in England. It is hard to believe that the FA banned the women’s game from 1921-1971!!

and I were proud to have had our series of portraits of the Lionesses featured in the Big Issue special edition last month as part of a new campaign with .uk\ballers Our Lioness portraits available as part of an exclusive collection 20% going to

I’m delighted to have work from More Than You Could Ever Know featured by Royal Photographic Society’s In Our Hands: Stories of the Environment project along side the brilliant work of Cristina Paveri, Caroline Fraser and . This is a photography competition by RPS Women in Photography which invited photographers to explore the complex relationship between people and the planet—capturing visual stories that reflect both environmental fragility and resilience.

« These images highlight the beauty of the natural world and the consequences of human action—reminding us that the future of our environment is, quite literally, in our hands » RPS

More Than You Could Ever Know is a project which expresses a visceral and emotional experience of connection to nature and to self. It reminds us that to stop environmental destruction we must first understand that humans are one part of a whole organic system. “Things were separated out into neat categories and it has taken millennia to work out that we live in a web of intricately connected plants, fungi, conditions of weather, climate, terrain....that we are one thing” Laura Beatty ‘Looking for Theophrastus’ In these images nature takes precedent and body and soul merge with the landscape.

Do other people’s project’s do this? Get shaped and reshaped over time… mine seem to be fluid creatures. I have taken Flashes of Light back to the potter’s wheel for some remoulding recently.

It is a project about motherhood, my relationship to my kids and our relationship with nature...as they are always growing and changing, perhaps it is right that the work does too…

Here are a couple of snap shots from it. The rest are on my site under projects: https://livmanntremblay.com/

A singular fleck of light, like the first star in the evening sky. Your heart beating life bright against the dark of the doctor’s monitor- the purest joy I have ever known.



The two of you; two bright, whirling, twirling stars blazing through my life, lighting up corners I had never thought to explore; slowing me down to look closer at dandelions and under rocks. You taught me what living is. When time floats away and we are simply here together in the long grass until dew rises from the earth and barefoot we return and return. Deeply embodied, rooted in the earth, as free as the birds above; we fly

All through the end of autumn, the long winter, and into spring I had been looking up at the tree outside my house… waiting. I thought of the tree in its sleep state and the bulbs of tulip and narcissi I had nestled under the earth between its roots. The thought of them helped pull me through the snow drifting, ice biting days. Finally spring came and slowly, slowly those brown branches were filled with green as her leaves unfurled. For a moment I had looked in wonder at it. Just a moment.

Then almost instantly forgot!

Why do we so quickly stop noticing the beauty almost as soon as we have it, sweeping away as if it was nothing. Profoundly feeling the loss once it has gone

Reminding myself to keep awake and keep enjoying the good stuff. Each beautiful thing, however tiny

Dad’s tulips dancing in the dark (lit by the outdoor light I forgot to turn off!).
