Diana Thorneycroft has been selected as a recipient of Lensculture’s 2019 Visual Storytelling Awards. Thorneycroft’s work is now being exhibited at the Aperture Gallery in New York City until May 2nd.
Steven Mayes, Executive Director of the Tim Hetherington Trust selected Diana’s work as his juror’s choice, and in speaking about his choice writes,

“Diana Thorneycroft uses every tool available to enrich her nuanced story with all the wit, drama and complexity it requires. There’s a gag-line in the title, rich cultural references in the images, a belly laugh in the captions and at the end a lingering feeling of pain that can’t quite be explained. The images work hard to earn the viewers’ attention and reward every moment you spend with them.”
