THE MAKERS
The Makers project facilitated an exploration of the craftsmanship of independent artists in my local community. By documenting each subject in their own creative space I produced a series of intimate and focused portraits of individuals in the process of making.
This series was exhibited in the William Morris Gallery along with pieces the Makers were working on during the shoots.
