Francesca Snelling
Photography
Francesca is a photographer who lives and grew up in Wimbledon. She spent ten years working for Thomson Reuters as a photo editor based in London and ten years living in Tanzania working as a freelance photographer and communication consultant. In 2023 she spent a year photographing Cannizaro Park through its four seasons for the charity that manages and markets the park, Friends of Cannizaro.
