PROJECT: HOME / WORK

Home/Work documents the workspaces of people who live and work in the same premises. Initially started pre-COVID-19, I began visiting and photographing home workspaces again in 2024.

Through the commercial side of my photographic work I meet people who work in a huge range of industries and am fascinated by the variety of businesses people run from their homes. I am interested in how people create these spaces and how the lines between home and work are defined or blurred.

You can see individual profiles on my blog by clicking here.

If you work from home and are interested in participating in the project please get in touch, I’d love to hear about the work that you do.

Photograph in a converted barn, with a large table in the foreground topped with textured fabric, tape measures, scissors, paper, a roll of fabric and a metal rule. Behind there are wooden beams, a staircase up to a second floor that has boxes and items stored behind glass and a large crest with a phoenix and 'HOUSE OF GARROD' written on a scroll below. To the left at the bottom of the stairs is a pink room screen with tassels hanging from it and window to the far left of the table. To the right of the frame is a winged armchair. Immediately behind the table, under the upper floor, a curtain is pulled to the side, showing a living area containing chairs and a large mirror behind it.

Photograph of 2 tape measures, large and small orange-handled scissors and an open notebook on a wooden surface, with lines of light and shadow across them at an angle. In the background, out of focus and quite dark, are objects on a desk and a poseable lamp, with a piece of decorate fabric to the top right of the frame.
