Hidden Figures of Yorkshire showcases over 170 impactful portraits. It honours individuals in
under-recognised professions whose skills and contributions risk fading into obscurity, including
traditional artisans, artists, and more.
Photographer Caitlin Pharoah continued her acclaimed Hidden Figures series by travelling
across Yorkshire. From photographing an ice sculptor in an industrial freezer to chasing light
and weather across the spectacular Yorkshire Dales, no obstacle could keep these stories from
being captured.
Each portrait is accompanied by words from the Hidden Figures themselves, offering a rare and
personal insight into lives often overlooked but essential to our cultural landscape.
Alongside the visual and written narrative are immersive soundscapes that unfold through QR
codes woven throughout the pages, drawing the reader deeper into each story. Engaging the
senses at every turn, this book stands as both a celebration and a lasting record of remarkable
individuals, capturing not only what they do but why it matters.
Each year, skills and knowledge passed down through millennia disappear before they can be
retained for the future.
Together, we can change the ending of this story.
