A few weeks ago I connected with Tor Lydon, a wonderful up and coming Irish Poet, currently residing in Philadelphia. (You can read her work on instagram @salmon.street)

In the lead up to the shoot, Tor had mentioned how excited/anxious she was because it was her first photo shoot since entering recovery for an eating disorder. Putting herself back in front of the camera was a true test of the strength & resilience which she has gained in the last year. A few days after receiving the finished photos, I received this email from Tor, which I present here unedited and unaltered, with her full permission
