Leticia Valverdes is a prize-winning photographer whose work starts with deep listening. Published in The Telegraph, The Guardian amongst others, she’s also well-known for her community work with indigenous people, especially women and girls. Leticia’s commercial work includes personal branding for organisations and heart-led businesses in the UK and Portugal and also documenting retreats and rites of passage.  I particularly wanted to talk to her about the way she uses the process of image-making for healing, especially with mothers and with older women.
