As a documentary photographer, I am interested in the relationship of people and their everyday lives within their home. From the rooms they inhabit to objects they accumulated and worshipped, and the interactions that goes on between different subjects, I use photography to tell stories of everyday life in its most intimate and candid form.

I capture the quiet details, scenes and feelings that connects us to the subjects within the image and preserve a moment in time for them. In doing so, we can remember who they were, the things they loved as well as find belonging to the lives that have gone by.

'Hidden Mother' is a self-portrait I took in January 2021 just as England entered its third lockdown. Over the course of the pandemic year, I had found myself simultaneously pulled between the mental and emotional struggles of getting through the day-to-day activities, while juggling work, parenting and schooling two young children at home. This environmental portrait gives the appearance of a nicely domesticated life, but what truthfully lies beneath is a mother hidden behind all the layers, stood in the shadow of herself.
