‘Unsung Heroes’
As part of the Adidas Originals Creator Network North programme with Factory International I worked upon ‘Unsung Heroes’. 

‘Unsung Heroes’ spotlights exceptional real-life stories that uncover the profound impact running has beyond the finish line; honouring the transformative, healing power of running and celebrating the unsung heroes that uplift our running communities. As part of ‘Unsung Heroes’ we photographed our Unsung Heroes with their respective supporters.
