approach to people photography is primarily candid and spontaneous,
focusing on capturing natural moments, and attaining unposed
shots in which her subjects are relaxed and happy to just
be themselves. To
achieve this, her shooting style is entirely informal, and
she strives to maintain a secondary and unobtrusive presence
at all her professional engagements.
She works
primarily in Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Lancashire and
Derbyshire.
