Sane Seven conceives and leads major photographic and film projects about the women shaping this era — made with the institutions, leaders and brands who define how it will be remembered.
What does power look like, now that more of it is held by women than at any point in history? The question behind every project
Sane originates and directs bodies of work with institutions and brands. Each project is built to last beyond its launch — as a book, an exhibition, a film, a record.
The UK Ministry of Defence Data and Digital department commissioned Sane Seven to create an internal exhibition for senior leadership and key stakeholders. The brief was to create work that could open a serious conversation about women, identity, and institutional change.

A working archive of leaders, founders and cultural figures. To sit for Sane is to enter the record of how this era saw its most consequential women.
And what will history keep — the policy, or the face that delivered it? Why the work is made to last
My portraits have run in TIME, The Sunday Times, Forbes and Harper's Bazaar, and have shaped how figures from Angela Merkel to Dame Donna Langley are seen. But a portrait is one frame. The work I care about most is larger: projects that gather these women into a single body of work and hold it up to the world.
That is what The New Face of Power is — and why institutions and brands come to me to make it. Not to take a photograph, but to author the cultural record of this moment in women's leadership, in a form that lasts.
