Photo essay
‘A photo essay is a set or series of photographs that are intended to tell a story or evoke a series of emotions in the viewer’. They are particularly important to help create a more detailed story of an event or issue.

‘The Backyard’ is my current documentary photo essay which explores the way we use our ‘out-the-back’ spaces. When I arrived back from having lived in Vietnam for nearly a year, I was struck by the difference of how we live out the back of our separated zones compared to the incredibly public ‘life on the street’ in Viet Nam.
