My self portrait is going to be part of “MySide: Showing Us Your Side of Life”!

A new short exhibition at Side Gallery, Newcastle upon Tyne, created with photographers from across their local and international community. Open Bank Holiday Weekend 22nd-25th August, 2025 (12-6pm daily).

Selected through an open call, the works on display respond to two themes: "Documenting the Self" and "Places That Made Us". These images capture the everyday: families, routines, landscapes, and the places that shape who we are - offering a window into someone else’s world.
