A Year In The Life Of Richmond

The second book, this was commissioned after the success of the book on the park. I took a year taking photo’s of the town and it’s surrounds. Whenever I do a book I do all the research and writing myself and this really helps get ‘into’ the place. I start to look at the buildings in a completely different way when I know their history. With Richmond it was particularly the high street, I used to just look in the shop windows but I started to look up as well and see the remnants of the towns tudor origins in the architecture. Richmond also did well selling nearly as many copies as the park book but that too is now out of print.

About Joanna

As long as I can remember I have loved art and photography. Growing up as an only child I would spend hours drawing and moved onto photography when I left home. For years I worked as a physiotherapist just photographing my favourite things when I got the chance. I have created many scrapbooks over the years and was doing one on Richmond Park for my sons for when they left home. A friend commented that I should try and get it published. The rest as they say is history. A Year In The Life Of Richmond Park was published in 2000 and a whole new career opened up before me. I have subsequently had a further 7 books published. The most recent A Year In The Life Of Kingston Upon Thames being published in 2017. It has been a pleasure to combine my hobby with my work and I feel very privileged and lucky to have been able to make a living out of something that I love doing.
