Celebrating each other on International Women's Day { A personal portrait project}

Two years ago I embarked on a personal photography project with the aim of improving my portrait photography and photographing people that I didn't know. I asked people to nominate a woman that they thought was amazing, for whatever reason. For some it was the unconditional support they gave to a friend or relative, for others it was an admiration for the work they did or their dedication to a charitable cause. Whatever the reason, these women inspired other woman in their lives. For me International Women’s Day is a chance to share these stories again and to celebrate the lives of others in our community.

Over the last year this project has been on hold but I am looking forward to photographing wonderful women again soon. I have some lined up in the diary and am looking for more nominations so that hopefully this time on IWD I’ll be sharing forty photos rather than fourteen. To nominate someone please do so using the form here.

These women all have a story to tell. You can read more about them on this page.

Happy International Women’s Day! To all the women in my life, thank you so much for your warmth and support. X
