Charleston
An ongoing portrait series, shot on location at Charleston, Sussex
Charleston farmhouse was the home of Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, key members of the influential Bloomsbury group. The farmhouse and grounds have, for over 30 years now, hosted the Charleston Festival bringing together writers, artists, and changemakers from across the world.
This portraiture project focuses on those guests set against the modernist background of Charleston’s interiors.
In 2024, Steven took part in an interview about the experience of working at the Charleston Festival. Read the interview to learn more about the process of producing his portraiture work.
