Commissions
I take on commissions for organisations and individuals who need a project documented, archived or communicated properly.
I want to understand why what you're doing matters to you and those involved — what you're proud of, nervous about, desperate for others to understand. Whatever I've learned, and everything I have to offer, it's there for you.
Together, we create whatever needs to be made - documentation, an archive, a body of work that helps say what needs saying.
If you have something in mind, I'd love to hear about it!
Feed Us Up.
In their words:
“Shoot Conscious (Leyla – @conscienceg1rl) delivered exactly what we were hoping for from the photography. Leyla was incredibly involved throughout the whole process and took the time to understand not just what we wanted the images to look like, but why we wanted them.
Leyla was engaged with the brief from start to finish and captured the energy, teamwork and care behind FEED US UP in a way that felt very natural to us. The final images reflect the real work that happens behind the scenes while still giving us strong, purposeful visuals that we can use across our communications.
Leyla also delivered ahead of the deadline, which was hugely appreciated, and throughout the process Leyla was incredibly responsive and kept communication flowing. Leyla consistently checked in to make sure we were happy and that the final delivery met what we had envisioned.
Overall, we felt really supported throughout the whole experience, and Shoot Conscious (Leyla – @conscienceg1rl) genuinely understood the story we wanted to tell.
We are really happy with the final photography and would absolutely recommend Leyla”
— FEED US UP CIC
FEED US UP CIC commissioned me to create a body of documentary photography capturing the people, processes and care behind their community work. The brief was to tell the real story of FEED US UP through authentic, warm and human images, from volunteers preparing and packing food, to the small details, gestures and moments of collaboration that happen behind the scenes.
The photography was intended to work across their website, social media and wider communications, with a focus on dignity, community and action rather than overly posed or commercial imagery.
FEED US UP CIC is a community-focused organisation working to support people through food and practical community action. At the heart of what they do is a simple belief: everyone deserves access to, dignity and support.
Their work is powered by people, from the volunteers preparing and packing food and supplies, to the teams coordinating everything behind the scenes and making sure packages reach the communities that need them. They wanted the photography to capture not just what they do, but the care, teamwork and purpose behind it.
The work FEED US UP does reaches far beyond what can be captured in a single day of photography. If you’d like to learn more about their work, the communities they support, and how you can help sustain it, please take a look at their website below.
