Brief

‘Please take a moment and think about one of your favourite photographs in the world - it could be a picture taken by you or your friend or it could be taken by someone anonymous or well known. Once you have made your decision, please describe this picture to me without mentioning the photographer or the title of the work.’

Incentive

A meeting with Bettina over tea to discuss your work and a signed print from Bettina's portfolio as a memento of your meeting.
