Canalside Sofar Sounds 🎶
Though the music was beautiful, its sound cannot be captured in a still image. But photographing music isn’t just about the stage — it’s about the people who make the moment whole. The couple leaning in close. The friends stretched out on beanbags. The laughter between sips of beer. And the faces that light up, as music connects us.

Making Waves 🌊
Developed through Historic England’s Everyday Heritage grant, the project celebrates the working-class stories and community spirit that define this much-loved Yorkshire pool.

Now floating proudly across the pool, it’s an artwork made to be enjoyed. A reminder that creativity, like community, is something to dive into.

Where have you fed your baby? How do you feel when you're feeding? What unsolicited advice have you been given while feeding? It was so wholesome to photograph such an inspiring room full of amazing mums with such beautiful babies sharing really important conversations!
