Not normally a big fan of photography, used with other materials/mediums as I often find it a bit gimmicky and a prop for weak ideas. However I do like Kate Mellor's work as behind it there's some rigorous thought.

I took the photographs while on holiday with friends and family in Provence and Normandy. It's the story of quite ordinary people in search of happiness.
