SISTERS SEEN is a new arts initiative with a simple but powerful idea: women photographers photographing women photographers.
In an act of collective visibility created by the supportive community @f22aop we become both the photographer and the photographed.

This is my portrait of photographer Sarah Hogan whose gaze and visibility remain strong through a collage of layered reflections and glass.
Sarah is known for her award winning interiors & still life work (she is the holder of a coveted AOP gold award) and her vast array of published works, notably the book Bold British Design. She is also a highly accomplished portrait photographer and won first place in the @nationalportraitgallery's Family Jubilee Competition. It is the NPG who are leading today's International Portrait Day celebrations. The recognition was important for Sarah as the portrait was a gentle collaboration with her autistic daughter.

As well as photographing Sarah, and in keeping with the collaborative process of @sisters_seen, it was my absolute pleasure to be photographed by her. You can see the resulting portrait @shoganphoto
Thank you Sarah for 'seeing' me. And thank you f22 for creating an intriguing and compelling project 📸⚡️
