What gives you inspiration?
I’m inspired most by friends, family, those that are close to me. I tend to be surrounded by creative people by choice or chance I’m not sure. Real lives, real people inspire me.
What are your influences?
As the daughter of a foster carer, my background influences my work. Growing up with such a large and ever changing family, inspired and broke my heart in equal measures. My Grandma and mum would be my top influences.
Why did you choose these photos?
These images are from a series called So Much Past, where I photographed those involved in some way with foster care. I’m interested in fostering and adoption as topic to explore with photography and I feel these photographs best represent the direction of my work.
What does photography mean to you?
It gives me a voice that I don’t have with words. It allows me to tell stories.
