About Liz Lock & Mishka Henner

Liz and Mishka have worked on documentary projects across the North of England and beyond since 2004. Liz studied photography at Humber College in Toronto and Mishka read sociology at Loughborough University and Goldsmiths College in London.

Their practice makes use of environmental portraiture, landscape studies and local archives to represent the lives of post-industrial towns and communities still reeling from sustained industrial decline. Many of their projects are long-term, involving close collaboration with their subjects, and often involving workshops, curating personal and public photographic archives, and gathering oral histories and testimonies.

They continue to work regularly on portrait and editorial assignments for national and local media, with their work appearing in the Telegraph Magazine, Financial Times, Newsweek, BBC Newsnight, The Guardian, Flux Magazine, and the Idler. They are represented by Panos Pictures in London and Mishka is a member of the ABC Artists' Book Cooperative.

In 2011, Mishka is a featured artist at Les Rencontres d'Arles in From Here On, a group show highlighting artists representing a new era in photography. To see Mishka's personal work, visit www.mishkahenner.com.
