Caledonian Road Portraits.

In mid February 2011 I moved to Caledonian Road, Islington. I have begun a documentary portrait project on the traders, inhabitants and general familiar faces of the road. In an attempt to document the community around me, whilst portraying it's diverse neighbourhood.

Anya Johnson, Organiser of The Cally Festival

Family Portraits.

 ... Taken on boxing day, in the evening. Very tricky forty five second long exposures, a fidgety sibling and two very patient cousins.

These images are the first with the MPP (the previous were taken with a borrowed Wista).
