Portrait of Brothers and Skaters - LensCulture Highly Commended

Rolling project ,about my family and remapping childhood memories.

This is Ellen who I have photographed for the past 5 years in her home. She has evolved into a very confident skater - but has suffered from Chronic fatique that has meant she has to take a rest from her sport which she loves. This project stems from my own experiences as a competitive Artistic Roller Skater, when I was a teenager. My objective is to create a platform for these young talented female skater’s who are dedicated to this often forgotten sport. This five year project explores in-depth the athleticism and emotional challenges of each skater and how it has empowered and shaped them into becoming champion figure skaters. These portraits are part of a much larger body of work that involves 7 female skaters in total.

Molly, Skater, 2019. The jump happens in seconds with the speed of the skater travelling fast across the rink. Concentration, balance, energy, momentum, decision making, timing and great courage and skill is required before leaving the ground beneath them, and gracefully rotate two or more times in the air, before landing.

Megan, Skater. 2019. The jump happens in seconds with the speed of the skater travelling fast across the rink. Concentration, balance, energy, momentum, decision making, timing and great courage and skill is required before leaving the ground beneath them, and gracefully rotate two or more times in the air, before landing. The moment of being in mid air is a feeling of euphoria and excitement. It is liberating, skillful, being brave, and strong.
