Polly Melville for The Guardian

Another interesting portrait assignment for Guardian Weekend came up a few weeks ago and was published today – Polly Melville, an inspiring individual from Tain, just north of Inverness. Polly was diagnosed with cancer at a young age and told she might become infertile due to chemotherapy. Her story is fascinating – and it was lovey to spend an afternoon with Polly and her beautiful little girl Ruby.

I’m pleased the paper used the portrait as a full page – here it is – and some outtakes below.
