Dame Nia Griffith MP

In 2015 I was granted permission to shadow-photograph MP Nia Griffith as she went about her Parliamentary duties and constituency visits.

From the 5^th until 31^st August, I captured many of the engagements of this extraordinarily busy, committed, and energetic woman. It was an amazing opportunity to capture the working life of my MP.

The finale of my project was an invitation to tour the Houses of Parliament and lunch on the terrace overlooking the Thames. A remarkable day, and a fitting end to a fascinating journey.
