We Rise By Lifting Others: Volume II (67 illustrations)

'We Rise By Lifting Others: Volume II' (Amazon 'bestselling hardback photography' book): The Female Lead collaborated with 67 inspiring women, interviewing them and their empowering lives. This book was fully illustrated by myself and each page has a significant object from each of the women within, describing as to why the object is pertinent to them - with a backstory for why it holds such value and their success! I'd illustrate their treasured items, ranging from: Samurai swords, African fertility dolls, Sarah Storey's olympic signet ring, Deborah Francis-White's suffragette coin necklace and the first female prime minister of Australia, Julia Gillard's passport, Twiggy's makeup mirror (gifted from Fred Astaire), Sheryl Crow's guitar ("The Little Moneymaker") and many more illustrations of these beautiful sentimental objects.

See below for the book cover, introduction and illustrations with several examples of page layouts.

We held 2 weeks of interviews for all 67 women, all of which can be seen here.

We held the book launch within The Ned London, inviting all of the women within the book and is now available within the British Museum and V&A. There was a V&A exhibition held for the Sandy Powell signed suit from the book, signed by over 100 influential names: including Brad Pitt, Kylie Minogue, Margot Robbie, Leonardo DiCaprio, Renée Zellweger, Martin Scorsese, Billie Eilish, Olivia Colman and more!
