I work with local schools to teach some of the old photographic techniques, usually cyanotype or wet plate collodion. Cyanotype is fun because I can get them all involved in making images of ferns and flowers. I try to give them all a Tee shirt with their face on as a present, this means I need portraits I can make large transparencies from for them to contact print in the sun when I have sensitised the garment.

One project I did in 2022 was for a class of refugees from many countries. All were “children”, under 16, but many looked years older due to their experiences. I often found their portraits showed a lot of pain behind their eyes.
