I've decided to put together an exhibition for my 30th birthday featuring 30 portraits of people who have inspired or supported me in life. As a full time freelance photographer, I'm actively working in a career that I love and am passionate about. To get to where I am today there are so many people I can thank for contributing to my journey, with their support, creating opportunities and sharing some insightful words that allowed me to spread my wings.
Each portrait is accompanied by #WORDSOFWISDOM, a piece of advice shared by the photographed person that can help guide and inspire others to also reach their full potential. Being multi-racial myself, the collection also aims to be diverse as I am proud to work in and support multicultural environments.
The end goal of this project is a printed book, featuring the portraits and gracefully given words from those involved. These will be available to order at the exhibition with 50% proceeds going towards Love Thread Project, an organisation that I am proud to support. "Love Thread Project is a multi-faceted collaborative platform for the ultimate purpose to provide education, restoration and empowerment for women at risk. Their mission is to use fashionable and creative ventures to combat social injustice against women." - www.lovethreadproject.org
Entertainment on the night is provided by the talented Jonny Taylor, with food by Glen Hagger of GH Produce and snacks by Yasmin Walter.
