My initial workings for her portrait were based on research about her name and on the basic things she had told me about herself via our correspondence. I was able to listen to the music she produces before we met which I felt was a great insight into her artistic soul. When I met Raven, she had great depth of character and it was a pleasure learning about her life, her passions and her values.

This little sphere now also includes my son and, because I often explore my photographic work through the everyday activities and places we visit together, the blog has evolved to encompass my general photographic exploration and development. To enjoy, inspire and to set the scene for future posts, a little image of the children in the 'garden' with their Nanny from our most recent visit to North Essex... |
