Women who broke Al-Fayed story

About

I photograph women who hold power — and build the projects that keep them in the record.

My portraits have run in TIME, The Sunday Times, Forbes and Harper’s Bazaar, with subjects ranging from Angela Merkel to Dame Donna Langley. I am drawn to women whose lives reveal something about power: who gets to be seen, heard, believed, remembered, and who gets to shape what comes next. Alongside individual commissions, I create larger projects that bring these stories into conversation with one another, across politics, culture, business and everyday life.

My ambition is to create a lasting cultural record of how women experience, challenge and define power in our time.
