TEN MANCS

35mm/MF/Film/Transparency/Digital My series of Ten Mancs’ is ongoing since 1997, with more portraits being added to the collection each year and with previous personalities being revisited for a follow-up shoot. At my time as the head of photography at VIVA magazine 2011-2016, I run my own ‘Ten Mancs column’ with interviews published with the photos. Through this project, I have been fortunate to get to know many of Manchester’s well-known personalities. My first exhibition of Ten Mancs was taking place in 1997, with a follow up exhibit in 2011.
