Women now make up over 40% of Members of Parliament, the highest level of representation in British parliamentary history.

To mark this milestone, the Royal Photographic Society Women in Photography Group brought together women photographers from across the UK to create ‘The 40% Project: a national portrait series celebrating the women shaping Parliament today’. We all volunteered our time to capture this important moment.

The Royal Photographic Society’s Women in Photography group have subsequently launched a Kickstarter to get this work into print. If you’re able to pledge to the Kickstarter (link below) or simply share this post, that would be much appreciated.

I was able to take three portraits: Jo Platt, Labour MP for Atherton and Leigh; Cat Smith, Labour MP for Lancaster and Wyre; and Yasmin Qureshi, Labour MP for Walkden and Bolton South. You can find their stories and photographs along with all the other incredible portrait on the RPS website (link below).

Thanks to Yasmin Qureshi MP, Jo Platt MP and Cat Smith MP for taking part.

Such an inspiring and surreal (!) night at the LA1 Shorts LA1 Shorts film festival at The Dukes in Lancaster.

I was fortunate to have one of my cyanotype animations included in this year’s screening. There was huge variety in the selected films and it was brilliant to see such inclusive programming.

My cyanotype animation was made from over 1000 frames printed by hand, using footage I shot around Woodland Trust - Smithills Estate. It was created over many months at my studio for Pyramid Eyes track ‘Sunrise Over Old Earth’ from his album ‘Awake In Deep Time’, out now on Castles In Space subscription library.

I really enjoyed meeting the other film makers and film industry partners at the festival.

A huge thank you to Steve and Will for making the day so welcoming for newbies, and for all the work that goes into making LA1 Shorts happen. Happy 10 years of fabulous film festivalling!

Congratulations to everyone whose films were screened. 🎬

✨Selected✨

The music video I made for Pyramid Eyes fab track Sunrise Over Old Earth has been selected for the LA1 Shorts film festival. It’ll be screened at the The Dukes in Lancaster on 30 May with all the other selected films.📽️🍿

Huge thanks to Steve, Will and the LA1 Shorts team for this opportunity. It’s great to be part of their 10th year anniversary screening milestone. 🙌🏻 Follow their page LA1 Shorts for more news about the festival and some special competitions.

The cyanotype animation reflects the slow historic photographic process that is core to my creative practice. It’s made from over 1000 frames printed by hand (not AI). Original footage also filmed by me around Rivington Woodland Trust - Smithills Estate in Chorley, Lancashire.

The track is from Pyramid Eyes album ‘Awake In Deep Time’, out now on Castles In Space subscription library.
