  • A house-proud housewife trims her lawn with a pair of scissors in new housing on a terraced Liverpool street. Stooping down to ground level, the lady snips and preens individual blades of grass on an almost perfectly manicured lawn. Her home is new, surrounded by the early 20th century and Victorian terraced housing that populates this part of north-western Britain. There are few cars and two other people cross the road without fear of approaching vehicles – the economy here is largely depressed. And yet, the female gardener has taken the trouble to mow her garden and then trim her esteemed plot. She wears an orange suit too, a splash of colour in an otherwise drab street.

  • A young three year-old boy has his hair cut by his mother in the family South London home. Lifting his hair with her fingers, the mum snips with a pair of scissors. While lifting her left elbow to gain the right angle of her cutting, we see her holding a comb in her mouth. The boy's elder sister looks on offering unhelpful comments which will eventually lead to an exchange of unkind words between the siblings while their mother concentrates hard on not making a mess of the kid's haircut. From a personal documentary project entitled "Next of Kin" about the photographer's two children's early years spent in parallel universes. Model released.

  • "Losing the hair I was born with." We look over the darkened shoulder of a mother as she cuts her baby daughter's hair, at home, for the first time. Sitting in her high-chair, the child watches with fascination as the scissors snip away at the tufts of thick, dark hair the girl has had from birth. The experience is clearly enchanting her and she looks with her mouth open, captivated by this strange instrument that she feels trimming her head. This is from a documentary series of pictures about the first year of the photographer's first child Ella. Accompanied by personal reflections and references from various nursery rhymes, this work describes his wife Lynda's journey from expectant to actual motherhood and for Ella - from new-born to one year-old.
