New Portrait, Dec 25, by one of my favourite photographers and top UK celebrity photographer Dan Kennedy.
It's special to me, comfirming my wellness after a difficult year.
Thanks to Ben, Laura, and Chris, the wonders of CPR and a defibrillator, I can look at this photo and feel the deepest gratitude.

Amazing day yesterday shooting with Chiara Elisabetta. I envisaged this as a black and white story, but judging by this straight out of camera raw file, that's going to be a tough choice.
Big shouts out to Simon for a fab sourdough pizza lunch.

I’ve shared this, unfortunately this is the reality😞..

My heart is aching for my fellow freelancers/ self employed ❤️

They don’t have a premises - no £10k grant.

They don’t employ staff - no 80% of their wage covered to retain them.

They aren’t employed - no 80% of their wage covered.

They can apply for universal credit and get a maximum of 300 odd quid, but if you live with a partner who’s lucky enough to have a wage then you’ll get nothing.

They haven’t been given definitive direction to close, but all of their clients are cancelling and their industries are mounting pressure and shame on them to close - the same people who are getting grants and their staff are getting 80% of their wages paid.

They know they have to do social distancing. But they are a few days away from zero income.

And these people have built their businesses from zero with unimaginable amounts of blood, sweat and tears.

Please be compassionate and empathetic to your freelancer friends, their world is crumbling around them and they are haven’t been thrown the same lifeline as you. They are being forced to make horrendously difficult decisions and don’t need any more shame from anyone else.

All SELF EMPLOYED PEOPLE PLEASE COPY AND PASTE TO YOUR TIME LINE AND SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER.
