A Seat at the Fireside

This 155 page, 28 x 28cm coffee table book comes with a foil blocked protective sleeve, is litho printed to a high standard and case bound. With over 90 portraits and a little personal insight into each of the 24 people I photographed at Sifa Fireside, it celebrates their unique individuality and allows them a moment to take centre stage in their otherwise challenging lives. I tried to capture their personalities in an honest and open way in a studio environment, shot over the course of a week in one of the rooms at the drop-In. There are some beautiful words summing up the book too, kindly written by Hollywood actor, Michael Sheen.
