Presented here is my completed series 'Carers From Cradle to Grave'
'Carers From Cradle to Grave' is a portrait editorial series displaying the people who care for us throughout our lives. Roles of carers photographed include Midwifes, Healthcare workers, teachers, family support workers all the way to elderly carers, funeral directors and those who offer care to us but don't work under a professional care title such as religious leaders. During these incredibly tough times, I thought it was absolutely vital to recognise the people that look after us when we are in need with such devotion and deliver the best possible care.
The series was shot over 8 weeks and combined available daylight and additional flash. It had many hurdles from the start with constantly changing Covid rules meaning I was unable to photograph in my subject's living space. The project adapted and was shot in subject work places and Arts University Bournemouth photo studios.
I would like to say thanks to my cast and crew for making this series possible!
