Portrait of women who served during World War Two

A portrait photography project celebrating Women Who Contributed to the Second World War effort by serving in the Navy (WRNS), Airforce (WAAF), Army(ATS), Land Army and the Aviation Transport Authority(ATA). I created this project to celebrate Women who took part in the World War Two effort. I started this project with 4 women while completing my MA in Fine Art Photography and decided to continue working on it for another 3 years to find Women to feature in the project.

I travelled across England to meet these women, often reluctant to be photographed because they thought they were too old to be photographed. It took a bit of convincing. They were so eager to share their experience that the portrait became part of it!
