One Hundred Years
One Hundred Years consists of 100 portraits from my community in Hackney, covering every age from one to 100.

One Day Young
The portrait series One Day Young consists of one hundred and fifty portraits, taken over five years. The women are intimately captured back in their own homes, within twenty-four hours of the birth, challenging the usual sterile hospital images that inform our collective image of this moment. These women exude strength, identity intact rather than the anonymous mother stripped of self. Instead of fear we are presented with triumph.
The original book is now sold out after 3 re prints but there are some collectors editions left. A special, fully cloth covered, collector’s edition of One Day Young In Hackney by Jenny Lewis presented in a bespoke cloth covered clamshell box complete with signed and numbered limited edition print.
Edition of 250, 192 x 136mm (paper size), giclée print on Hahnemühle Photorag 188gsm, signed and numbered by the artist.
