A working mum in the West Country, Esther rediscovered the joy and expression of Black & White photography using a shared SLR camera whilst betweens locations. Known for her moving image work, she wrote and directed BAFTA winning short, September and Light Years which premiered at the Venice Film Festival. Esther is part of the Cube Cinema where she helps run a community cinema for displaced children (the Kids Kino Project). She set up Kitchen Table Photo Club in 2018. The club emerges from the heart of a home, around a fire & kitchen table. Kids gather to look at books, fiddle with analogue cameras, exhibit work and learn to think like artists, all the while fostering deep play, friendship, connection and emotional resilience. Dedicated to pursuing life-affirming art practices, Esther and the club continue to noodle in the woods and natter at the kitchen table.
