Photography: Ije McDougall, TEDx speaker

Ije McDougall, TEDx Speaker

Every now and then, you meet someone who is doing things in a way that you resonate with. Ije McDougall is a keynote speaker at night and a magistrate by day, from the North West of England but originally from Nigeria. Her successes include a TEDx talk about Medusa, entitled “Before You Look Away, Look Again” – a reframing of a story we think we know, but has more to teach us. What's not to love? These Greek tales are obsessed over in sections of my family (my youngest son)!

The shoot was a joy with three concepts in mind: the master epic shot, the wall shots, and the "oration captures" – I'll be making a separate post about these shots soon.
