Historic Cameras with Liz Hingley for Making Space at University of Birmingham


I have spent a wonderful few weeks working at the Research and Cultural Collections study centre at University of Birmingham, alongside photographer Liz Hingley to create images using antique cameras for the exhibition Making Space: Celebrating Women at the University of Birmingham.

I have greatly enjoyed spending time at the RCC known affectionatley as Redmarley, a beautiful house which houses a fascinating collection within a welcoming domestic space.

It was a priviledge to be able to work on such an inspiring project with a driven group of talented women. Working on the project was made particularly special as I was able to work with my new 4 month old daughter, blurring the boundaries of work and family in a way which felt like the ideal working situation.

Here is an image of Liz with my daughter Minnie taken as a quick exposure test, which I feel captures the special atmosphere of the project.

I am hoping to produce more work here in the future, watch this space.
