Why You Should Take Photos With Your Friends Many events have led up to the point of becoming a photographer. My mum always took photos as she has gone through life and as I grew up. It’s interesting to look at what she has done throughout her life and the documentation of my childhood. Each picture shows something different and has a memory attached to it (even if I can’t remember the photo being taken).

It made me realise the importance of documenting each and every memory as we never know when the carpet  will be taken from underneath our feet. Moving away from the  place that I grew up to study somewhere else has made me  appreciate every photo that I took in my early teen years....

For this photoshoot, we decided to include elements of drag, femininity, water and the destruction of gender binaries. Doing a photoshoot in a bath is something that I have wanted to do for a while now! Next on the list is to do a milk bath photoshoot! Tilda recently had an article written about their poetry published ...
