BEING sees several personalities, some of which
are well-known, reflecting on what it is to BE...
“BEING is my antidote to the soundbite world.

"People no longer feel that they can be who they
really are but that they have to conform to a
stereotype. The portraits provide them with a rare
moment to just BE themselves.” said Polly Steele.
