Below are the newspaper articles from which my May 2025 faces were cut. It’s the actual newspaper that I’ve stitched, not reproductions. The information in the articles may be fabricated. I (mostly) use the Metro and London Standard newspapers because they are free. I couldn’t afford to make this piece if I bought a more reputable publication every day.
*The photo credits are as they appear in the articles from which the faces were cut. For the record, I don’t accept the name of a company as a photography credit. There was an actual person behind the camera. If you are that person, or know them, please give me a shout.
