Angela France

I had the pleasure of photographing Angela France a little while back. Angela and I have met before and it was good to see her again. Anglela chose to have her photograph taken in the environment in which she works at Franicis Hall campus at Gloucestershire Universities in Cheltenham. The campus is beautiful and has leafy spaces amongst the warm coloured buildings.
