Dorcas dress, vol.2

The flagship Dorcas dress from summer 2017. The flagship Dorcas dress from spring 2023. I photographed them both: they’re one and the same dress, with just a slight change in which fabrics are available. These are the clothes we need if we’re to break out of our vicious cycle of fast fashion.

In this shoot I tried to capture how when you wear this dress you can do anything: layer it up, go to the woods, fold it in so your 4-year-old can wear one too (she insisted). Wear it while pregnant and proudly put your hands in your pockets.

Dorcas dress, vol. 1

A dress with pockets, you say?

The Dorcas Project supports people out of situations of poverty by providing skills training, resources and pastoral care - all through a uniquely designed dress. I’ve supported this organisation through my photography since 2017.

I call my Dorcas dress my “forever” dress because there is no time in my life when I won’t be able to wear it. Designed to fit anyone between a size 6 and 24, it adapts to your body as it changes over time.

Did I mention it has pockets?

Tris Puri, Barbican

Tris (Tris Puri Music) is a friend of mine from many years ago. I shot some photos for his first EP back in 2013, and it was time for a visual refresh.

After some portraits in the streets of Balham, we decided on a second shoot in one of the most glorious backdrops London has to offer: the Barbican.

This shoot is from July 2021 - I’ve been working through my archives to share some of the photos I’m most proud of.

Heather & Owen, Beddington Park

I never got to photograph Heather & Owen’s wedding in April 2022 - sadly covid put me out of action. But here are some lovely photos from our pre-wedding shoot in Beddington Park from February.

Is it even a visit to the park is there isn’t a game of Pooh sticks?
