Photography by Ina Beeston

I was born in Munich but grew up in South Africa and London. I started taking pictures at the age of 13 with my first Canon and through a love of travel and photography, I have obtained an extensive collection of photographs, some of which can be viewed on the following pages. Now based in Northamptonshire, England, I combine work with looking after my family, who are often my indulgent travel companions.

"So often it's just sticking around and being there, remaining there, not swooping out in a cloud of dust: sitting down on the ground with people, letting children look at your camera with their dirty, grimy little hands, and putting their fingers on the lens, and you just let them, because you know that if you will behave in a generous manner, you are apt to receive it?" - Dorothea Lange
