a red dress



Jemimah wears a mature head on such young shoulders - she turns nineteen in just a few days time.  Her mother is a Cypriot and her father an Englishman. Already she has traveled to or lived in many different countries.

I met Jeminah during a recent Pride march and she kindly agreed to a photo-shoot around Birmingham where she's currently studying for a degree in arts and design. As well as being part of the LGBT community, Jemimah is a member of the University's burlesque group.  A former ballet dancer she finds in burlesque a means to express and explore her persona.

In search of suitable backdrops we visit a coffee shop, the grounds of Birmingham cathedral, a set of old-fashioned telephone boxes squirreled away in one of the quieter thoroughfares, the Edwardian tea-room in Birmingham Cathedral and the roof garden which tops the new library.
