「Hope(希望)」
私は「Out of the Shadows」をテーマに掲げた作品を撮影したいと思っていました。
パンデミックから脱出し、春の到来に向けて、希望と再生の喜びと祝福を描いたものです。
しかし、ウクライナの最近の出来事もあり、このタイトルは適切ではないと感じました。
未だ多くの人々が将来に対する不安な気持ちを抱いているでしょう。
なので改めて作品タイトルを「In & Out of Shadows」とすることにしました。
I wanted to title the shoot ‘Out of the Shadows’.
The shoot was about our emergence from the pandemic, the aim was for it to be joyful and a celebration of hope and renewal, as we move into the season of spring.
However due to recent events in Ukraine it didn’t feel right to call it this.
The new title 'In & Out of Shadows' seems more appropriate as many of us are experiencing feelings of uncertainty about the future.
I also aimed to shoot a group of three girls for this story; I love shooting group of models interacting and creating shapes.
Unfortunately one was ill on the day but despite that the girls did a great job as a duo.
A photographer and mother of two, who lives in London.

Her vibrant style, which captures the natural expression of models, attract viewers.
