A journey not so easily traveled.

I traveled from the UK to NYC to meet with a group of LGBT girls, I took many photos of the journey, and I left with a wider knowledge of how people manage homophobia and self acceptance in a world still marred by ignorance and homophobia. Here follows some of the images that I hope will draw you in to a way of life often kept hidden from wider society, and show you a few moments in the lives of others who still deal with this prejudice in their everyday lives.

Oxfam Exposure Brief
Editor's Brief: Rising

I can't tell you how windy it was on top of this tor, my hat blew off (from inside my hood), my tripod went crashing over countless times and moved about so much most of the pictures suffered, my coffee, when I poured it, blew right out of the cup! It was a steep climb and a windy summit, but when the clouds split open and the rising sun poured through I was expecting the into to The Lion King to start playing. A beautiful sight, and although I was freezing cold the whole time (except for the steep climb up in which I boiled) I would recommend an early morning moorland wander to anyone. Cleared my mind a treat.

Editor's Brief: Rising
Dregs of sunset.

I think my camera is dying. Definitely should not be so grainy.

Summer's coming.
Pining already.

5.30am. The last morning before I flew back to England and I was missing home before I'd even left.

About me

I'm a postgraduate photographer/chef looking forward to creating as much as possible and to collaborating on as many different projects as I can, right now I'm in Norway but I'm looking for something to do November-March, so if you have a project in mind I'm all ears.

    • I think I did vote when this was first sent.
      I can't recommend you because I've never worked with you, I will definitely help you out with votes though, so if you send me links in future they will be clicked.
