The gin-soaked effervescence of Libby and Maeve

Maeve Marsden and Libby Wood are
performers with smart minds and angelic
voices. I photographed them for a show they
were performing called ‘Mother’s Ruin’, a
cabaret about the hidden history of women
and gin. In a lot of shots they are laughing and
smiling, which is their natural state of being.
But this is my favourite shot from the day, their
faux-stony faces hiding a fearless love of the
absurd and a passion for what they do so well.
