Honorable Mention
Father and daughter
DESCRIPTION
From my ongoing project that looks to explore the positive impact of fathers on their daughters. Historically both culturally and socially, many fathers have not assumed a pro female attitude in their parental role, manifesting in various ways: not being present, not taking up roles that are seen as the female responsibility, not promoting independence of their daughters and perpetuating stereotypes, to name a few. In these images, I seek to show the pride of fathers who are going against that pattern and instead support and promote empowerment of their daughters by being a force for change; unlocking the possibility for intergenerational change within a lifetime. AUTHOR
I am a portrait and still life photographer and studio manager based in London. I shoot across a variety of publications, often with little brief, budget or turnaround time. That doesn't stop art directors and picture desks from being demanding however so I have become accustomed to being creatively fast-paced! I love to shoot on my own terms too, where I get the chance to explore my own ideas in greater depth. I aim to create arresting photographs often with a bold colour palette and a lighting style that is graphic and dynamic.
