I never really talk about the emotional side or im

I never really talk about the emotional side or impact of the work that I do. I am privileged to meet so many people who trust me with their insecurities, people who bare their scars to help others, and themselves feel more confident.

I’m saddened to hear of Deborah's passing today - but will never forget the shoots we did together (Behind The Scars, Bio-Oil, more behind the scars and a selection of stories for Bowel Cancer UK, news segments on channel 4 and even a radio interview) - from her daughter singing into her chemo pump on a shoot, to lots of laughter... there was always an infectious energy from Deborah on a shoot that lifted the whole room.

I remember the very first time someone came to one of my shoots and shared that they had found out they didn't have long left. It was the first time I finished a shoot and cried - and felt a little overwhelmed that someone had chosen to spend some time of what they had left with me, a stranger - to take photos.

I struggle to find words when I speak about my work, and the people I've met who are now no longer here - but all I can really say is thank- you, from the bottom of my heart - for trusting me.

'My body is full of scars that represent my cancer journey. Each one is a war wound that has meant I have faced cancer and kicked it head on! At first I hated my scars, but as time has gone on I’ve learnt to love them. I suggest we carry our scars with pride, knowing they have built us rather than defied us. 7 months ago my life was turned upside down when I was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer. People say I’m brave to be going through what I am, but I’m not – I just have no other choice. I’m still me, I can still be sexy, I can still have fun – cancer doesn’t need to define me.” - Deborah, for Behind The Scars

It won’t be long now until our website is back up and running!

Then I’ll be busy making sure all the stories so far are in one place - as I’m sure you are aware sometimes images get removed from Instagram, so it will be great to have a space back where people can browse stories again!

There’s a search bar on the website too - so if you want to find stories related to your own experiences, you can - whilst we haven’t covered everything in the world there will be lots of content there!
