Peterborough Hero - Miquilina Benguela (Lina)

Peterborough Hero - Miquilina Benguela (Lina)

I'm delighted to shine a spotlight on another one of Peterborough's heroes.

‘Peterborough Heroes’ is a project where I do a free family photoshoot for someone who goes above and beyond in helping the community. If you'd like to nominate someone then let me know and I'll add them to the list.

The wonderful Lina (in the beige top) was recommended to me by one of my clients, Jean (in the black top). The lady in the grey top is Isabel, Lina's sister who was visiting from Portugal. Lina has no family in the UK.

Last week we were doing some random acts of kindness like giving food to the homeless and giving out cakes, hugs and professional massages at Serpentine Green.

Me!

In fact, the whole reason I went to the car wash on a day like this was because I knew it would be quiet. I wanted it to be quiet so I had a few quick seconds to give the hard working guys there a box of Crispy Creme Doughnuts and grab a photo of them for my ManKIND project.

I gave a little lecture and did a Q&A session about what it takes to be a full time photographer. I promise you it takes a whole lot more than just pressing the shutter button - honest!!
