'Never Work With'' exhibition opening !

Some photos from our 'Never Work With' exhibition install and opening last week. It's on until the 28th April

I photographed Mabel testing out some D&G dog fragrance for the Telegraph Magazine.

Our Exhibiton 'Never Work With' is now open at The Carlton Club!

Alex Grace and Scott Kershaw first crossed paths as photography assistants, forging a friendship and professional bond that has thrived for over two decades. Today, both are accomplished photographers in their own right, and their work comes together in Never Work With. Featuring highly stylised portraits of animals and children, the work on show references moments in time and life.

Scott’s series Gummy explores the transition of childhood, capturing children at the moment they lose their baby teeth — a physical marker of growth and change. These vibrant and humorous portraits celebrate each child's individuality, highlighting the charm of this transformative stage.

Presenting two projects, Alex uses her quirky animal portraiture to engage with political and social issues. In her latest work, she captures dogs adorned with keffiyehs and draped in flags, symbolising resistance and solidarity. Meanwhile her series, Lockdown With Luna, shot during the COVID-19 pandemic, features her dog Luna wrapped in household essentials like toilet paper and face masks—symbols of that unique period in history.

The title, ‘Never Work With’ a tongue-in-cheek reference to the old adage never work with children or animals, feels fitting given the subjects they’ve chosen to explore.

Great to have 2 of my images selected for this year's Shot Up North Awards. Here is me looking very pleased with myself at the Exhibition and book launch last night! 😀

Really happy that an image from my 'South Beach Miami' series was selected for Shot Up North's SUN 34 awards which launched last night at Five Four Studios in Manchester. The awards (exhibition and book) were judged and curated by the Channel 4 picture commissioning team. The full 'South Beach Miami' series can now be viewed on my website (under Special Projects).
