THE UNIVERSITY OF LONDON’S ‘WOMEN OF SENATE HOUSE’ PHOTOGRAPHY IS RECOGNISED BY CASE FOR A CIRCLE OF EXCELLENCE AWARD

When the University of London concluded their ‘Leading Women’ campaign in 2018, they ran a competition to identify women of Senate House, the University of London’s Bloomsbury HQ, who had made an exceptional contribution.

Ten remarkable women were selected by their peers and featured in a series of formal portraits shot and conceived by Laurie and Fi. The pictures featured a broad range of women contextualised within the grandeur of Senate House. The images were published in the University’s magazine WC1E and exhibited in Senate House.

The CASE judges said of the work, “Our panel fell for these formal portraits from the University of London. The women are shot using formal principles in traditional environments of power. One comment was about how these women had been photographed “like men” with the body language of gravitas and reverence. Refreshing to see women photographed with a sense of their substance and wisdom.”

Of course we were delighted. Thanks to the University’s Toni and Lisa for the wonderful opportunity and for putting their trust in our ideas.
