If you’re near Manchester UK this evening, hang by the beautiful Whitworth Art Gallery and share our music, film and photography in celebration of Excavating the Reno. Chat to producer Linda, the inspiration behind the project and the Reno team or just have a gander and a boogie! @excavatingthereno https://www.instagram.com/leedslassie/p/BvjWvjbA73F/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18frbebxopsq3

Oakwood Hall is a community based residential home for people with complex mental health needs. Here, I meet with and shadow one of the residents, who has kindly allowed me to photograph her on behalf of charity ‘Inspire North’. We chase chickens in the beautiful grounds of Oakwood Hall and also discover that we share a love of dairy free cooking and splatter movies!

Client - York Museums Trust

The brief was to capture the reactions of a small group of elderly people, who meet up through a local Health and Wellbeing programme. The group examined artefacts from the Museums archive and rekindled old memories.

I received a commission from Getty, to capture the atmosphere at a modern barbers shop. I am grateful to the lovely guys and their clients at Joe’s Barbers, Leeds, who kindly agreed to let me photograph them as they went about their business.
