Kate Adcock, Director of Research and Innovation,

Muscular Dystrophy UK said

We congratulate Jordan on having achieved this

terrific degree. We also applaud the University

of Cumbria for supporting his studies throughout.

The images for his final project, taken despite

the extra effort needed during lockdown,

are wonderful. This is an outstanding example

of someone with a muscle wasting condition

making every day count. I’m excited to see how

his career progresses.

Jordan’s pictures are available for viewing at:

Dr Sarah Bonnar, programme leader for the BA

(Hons) Photography degree, said

Daytime Disability is a project that has brought

some emotions out of Jordan that are

normally hidden behind closed doors out of

embarrassment on having to rely on medical

equipment and support staff to retain

independence.

It has taken lots of confidence for him to show

some of these emotions for the first time in a project

that will be seen by many people, far and wide,

from the public, to friends and family, and to fellow

photographers.
