I recently connected with clothing designer Karen via Instagram, and was instantly taken with her incredible character and sense of style. I approached her with the idea of us doing a shoot together to capture her in her South London home (I seem to have made some incredible connections since becoming a South Londoner). She loved the fact that I shoot on film and we spent a lovely afternoon, chatting, laughing and putting the world to rights. It was a real pleasure to meet and shoot with her. The black and white pictures are the result of me learning to develop film for the first time, and for that I have Dan Fontanelli @ the Brightrooms, the darkroom, studio & lab in Peckham to thank. He very patiently gave me an incredible lesson in how to develop film.
