Chasing Shadows

RPS Hundred Heroines

I just wanted to say a big thank you to the Royal Photographic Society for sharing my work as part of their #HundredHeroines social media campaign.

2018 marks the centenary of women’s suffrage in the UK and @RPS100Heroines have invited the public to nominate their photographic heroine to go forward as one of @The_RPS‘s significant hundred heroines. Click here to nominate: http://rps.org/100nominate

In addition they invited female-identifying photographers to share their work to promote and celebrate women in photography today… which is where I’ve taken part.

Here are a few of the images, you can see the twitter thread in full here: https://twitter.com/RPS100Heroines/status/1028938063538544640
