GSA Photography Competition Shortlist 2023

Now you know that I am calm, bold and simple. I am calm because of my position, bold because of the colours and simple

Now you know I have an older sister with a disability which she gives me joy when she is riding her horse. Emilia doesn’t speak and only walked when she was 7 years old and still needs her wheelchair for long distance walking. She has taught me you can do anything in life.

Now you know what friends can do when they are together, friends are always stronger together.

Now you know….
…..how many wonderful memories I have of my school and my friends.
I am about to start my last year of junior school and my very favourite time of the week is my after-school photography club where I love trying different techniques, like multi exposure, to capture my memories

Now you know and can clearly see and feel the true joy between an awesome father and loving child. This is my experience.

Now you know I love going to the beach with my friend and watch the sunset whilst listening to the sound of waves and the ocean

Now you know the view of a Neurodivergent individual, the beaming lights and the blurry vision makes the world spin, you see the world as black and white because you don’t know what sense to focus on next, neurodiverse individuals tend to perceive and process the world around them differently to neurotypicals, not only is it black and white but loud and scary too.

Now you know… that Bath is my favourite city. I have many memories of visiting it with both my friends and my family. I especially love the incredible history and architecture.

Now you know that I love summer. The feeling of sunshine on your face, the feeling of warmth, optimism and positive energy, and spending time with friends and family.

Now you know I love travelling

Now you now… that London is a mist-ery

Now you know my tears turn to petals

Now you know I have a younger brother who I always manage to persuade to model for my art projects.

Now you know who I am, but do I know who am I?

Now you know what it’s like to slowly lose your loved one, sitting there waiting for the end.
