I recently had the honour of photographing a fascinating talk by visual artist Liz Atkin at Chelsea Physic Gardens. The lecture which was given to a group of medical humanities students from Imperial College London was on the subject of dermotillomania or 'skin picking disorder' and detailed Liz's journey to recovery through her artwork. The students also got a chance to get their hands dirty and do some charcoal sketches of their own out in the garden.

If you would like to know more on the subject of skin picking, please take a look at Liz's social media:
