Hot off the plane from Ethiopia, I arrived in Newcastle for what I'm dubbing as the wedding of the year so far! After working around the clock on a photoshoot in the swealtering heat of Addis Ababa, it was a quick turn around to get back to the UK and into wedding mode but wow was it worth it.

After these few months I definitely think I'm starting to get into the swing of this virtual work life we now all know, so I wanted to share with you my latest creative work. Thanks to another online shoot via video call with the brilliant Malorie Shmyr this time we worked on expressing these virtual connections. The final piece, a moving image Malorie filmed and collated beautifully, is our artistic representation of both the beauty and the struggles of trying to connect through a screen.   Both Malorie and I love the use of bold colour, especially gold, so with this in mind we opted...
