Woodland Images, Norfolk
May 2020I have been drawn to making images of the local landscapes and woodlands during the lockdown. I will be preparing a portfolio of images taken during this period.
Coronavirus Lockdown, Norfolk
May 2020Being in the countryside during lockdown has allowed me time to develop work reflecting on themes to do with nature. The initial idea was in part inspired by my late great aunt Diana Gurney’s photographs and poetry from the early part of the 20th century. I am looking to abridge her photographs and poems in a new publication. I hope to include some of my own images taken during the lockdown spent in Norfolk.

The Yellow Caravan Book Launch St. Helen Bishopgate Norwich
December 2019In August 2019 the author and family genealogist Juliet Webster, accompanied by one of Honor Elwes’s great nephews, the photographer Ben Elwes, follow the 1912 route of the Yellow Caravan. Based upon historic documents, photographs and a poem written by Honor the book retraces the journey 3 young women made camping around Norfolk. In doing so the publication encapsulates the spirit of the adventure they had together over 100 years ago, when such activity would have been most unusual.
