Kay May

My photography practice is informed by a working life including time spent creatively as fiction editor on a woman’s magazine and as poetry editor at a London publisher.   I graduated as a mature student from Winchester School of Art in 2009 and I live in the tiny village of Tichborne in Hampshire, known by some for the Tichborne Dole.  My work is inspired by and reflects the rhythm and the rituals of rural life.

Please contact me, using the form on the contact page, if you would like to buy prints of any of the work on this site or ask me to quote for a project - or just to make a comment.
