Katherine Green - 1948 Olympians

About

London-based photographer Katherine Green is a social documentary photographer based in London, UK. Her work often focuses on the idea of community and what makes or bonds communities. As part of North Lincolnshire Gold she presents her series of photographs documenting members of a select group of British athletes who competed in the 1948 Olympics, the last time the games were held in London. Recovering from war, athletes weren't paid, were training on rations whilst working full-time and most had to hand sew their own kits. During the past few years Katherine Green has been meeting, photographing and recording interviews with the British Olympic Team from the 1948 Olympics.
