These are strange times indeed but despite the lockdown and isolation, I have never felt a stronger sense of community. I am very aware that behind all those closed doors are families, couples, beloved pets and so much more.

Life goes on and I would love to capture family life despite the challenges we are facing.

Since early April 2020 I have offered five-minute front steps photo sessions for the residents of Thame. These sessions took place once a day during my daily during my walk, obviously observing social distancing and following the Government guidelines.

Anyone could sign up, but I’ve suggested a voluntary donation in support of The Young Carers of the Lord William’s School.

I have already photographed more than 80 families, and together we’ve raised £2500.

The Front Steps Project was started by two Boston based photographers on March 17 as a community project. I’ve suggested it to the lovely people of Thame and I’ve been humbled by the positive reaction.

#TheFrontStepsProject brings us together despite being apart.
