A SPECIAL ARCHIVE EDITION

For the next two weeks whilst I am on location with the 2024 Scottish Photowalk Retreat, a brace of special editions, where I revisit the archive to feature the work of women in photography. Guests include, Nancy Borowick, an acclaimed photojournalist known for her deeply personal and emotional work, particularly the intimate documentation of her parents' simultaneous battles with cancer, which has resonated with audiences worldwide for its raw honesty and humanity. I also talk with Lynzy Billing, an investigative journalist and photographer known for uncovering untold stories in conflict zones and human rights crises, Susan Goldberg an influential American journalist who became the first female editor-in-chief of National Geographic, where she expanded its focus on science, the environment, and social issues like climate change and diversity and from the UK, Nicky Heppenstall who helped found Remember my Baby, a charity organisation that offers remembrance photography services to parents experiencing the loss of their baby before, during, or shortly after birth, providing them with cherished memories during a deeply difficult time.
