During mid-April 2025, an unexpected email from Doreen arrived in my inbox. She shared how ‘Appreciating‘ had taken on a deeply personal significance following her diagnosis of breast cancer, becoming a catalyst for contemplating her own mortality. Her words were both moving and humbling, reminding me that a photograph can continue its journey long after it leaves the artist’s hands.
In honour of Doreen, I dedicate these photographs from my collaboration with Lucinda, Appreciating.
A very adventurous and confident Lucinda sits on the remains of this ancient Roman Wall. This photoshoot took about an hour after we met at a cafe to discuss our plan of action. We tried to work fast, given that it was in a car park that was quiet of people yet busy with cars left by their owners. Now and then, a businessman would pass by in a very English manner, as if they hadn’t seen what they had seen, but certainly some looked back to confirm that they had seen a naked woman and a photographer. As you can see, there was a moment of laughter.
