Mystical Space of London’s Great Gardens

Alice and her story through time are always fresh, exciting and wondrous ...

After many months of living in a stranger version of life with empty city streets and only our dreams to explore, the world has finally begun to open up. I recently had the chance to visit the exhibition Alice: Curiouser and Curiouser at the Victoria and Albert Museum, and its own stories and altered realities pulled me through time and space in many different ways. While in the galleries, I was transported back to a shoot that I did with a captivating young woman, in a series of dreamlike gardens, inspired by Alice herself as well as her charm and strong presence.

I have always felt at my most comfortable in gardens, especially now as a member of the Royal Horticultural Society, where the hidden realms of the natural world are encountered and encouraged by human hands. I felt that the gardens were grounds for the natural magic in which I was able to capture Talitha’s vivid internal world.
