We’re not aiming to replace mending services, that’s something different. Sometimes there are things that you can do yourself, taking up a pair of trousers or sewing on a button, nice simple skills that we’ve lost a bit. It’s trying to get people to realise they don’t need to be scared to have a go, or the worst thing, throw it away and buy a new one. It’s happening slowly.”

Biography

I am a photographer based in Essex, UK. I love using photography to give insight into people, places and process and my work includes documentary, portraits and interiors.

My favourite projects are when I get to go behind the scenes, glimpsing into worlds I might not otherwise see.

I work with lots of arts organisations and am lucky to see some of the incredible work that goes on year round to support the community. Many people don’t have that opportunity, they might just see the final result: the single day event or the exhibition on the wall. I hope to show that as well as enriching lives with art and culture, these organisation provide safe spaces to meet, support each other and keep traditional skills alive.
