I am a social researcher and photographer with an interest in housing, neighbourhood, social mobility and relations of class and inequality. I use visual and participative methods within structural and p0licy contexts. I am a Visiting Fellow at UEL (University of East London) and a Director of LivingMaps Network.
I am currently using research and photography to campaign against The Housing and Planning Act (2016). Publications include a Guardian photo-gallery and interview extracts with concerned residents (2016): http://www.theguardian.com/housingnetwork/gallery/2016/may/18/social-housing-tenants-demonised-housing-planning-act-in-pictures
I am also working on a Paralympic/Disability Project, photographing and interviewing disabled people who use the Olympic Park for health, fitness and wellbeing. This will result in permanent artwork in the Sir Ludwig Health & Wellbeing Centre London E20 (commissioned by Newham Clinical Commissioning Group).
2014-2106 I was a researcher with LivingMaps Network for Speaking out of Place, examining residents' experiences of moving into East Village London E20 (former Athletes' Village), investigating alternative narratives of this 'brand new place to live' in the context of the Olympic Legacy. As part of the ehnography took photographs and ran a participative photography project with residents, resulting in a collaborative touring exhibition, MyPlaceYourPlaceE2o, the first major photographic study of East Village and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park London E20 http://www.livingmaps.org.uk/wordpress/?page_id=1845
