Photographer Sally Mayman came and spoke to us about her commercial and personal photography practise - she was a joy to be with so thank you Sally for telling us so much about your inspirations and how your environment and experiences have effected your work. We had such a fabulous chat, she is full of energy and passion, we so enjoyed learning about how photography has been her life long passion and how she juggled motherhood and creativity.
