Daniel is cold

Daniel is a poet and a film-maker and was waiting for his taxi outside my studio one day. We chatted and he recited one of his pieces which had a rhythm and a register of the spoken word work of the early beat poets from the sixties. So I photographed him as close to that mood as I could. Thanks Daniel.

In February 2023 pushed to their limit post Covid, the nurses of Manchester’s Christie Hospital came out in protest of their wages. The cost of living under Conservatives had risen greater than their yearly salary raise effectively cutting salaries. I walked past these frontline heroes everyday taking my kids to school and couldn’t help chat to them. They were always in incredibly good sprits even in the February cold.
