A few weeks ago I was invited to photograph a book reading by Mary Portas at the Highgate Living & Giving shop. It was a chance to hear Mary read from her memoir: ‘Shop Girl’. The evening was a really intimate event as only a handful of guests were lucky enough to get a place. After reading a few excerpts from her book, Mary took some time to sign copies for people and pose for a few extra photographs. It was a really fun evening, and here are a few of my favourites……
