Speaker Page
The image is a close up of a woman with long blonde hair that is pushed upwards and over to one side. She has blue eyes that have black eye-liner around them, and she is stood before a plain white background. She is wearing a black top and a necklace that comes down to just before the dropped collar of the top. In the bottom-left corner there is the colours: blue, white and red. It is in a design which suggests the sleeves may be a different to the black torso, but we can't see past her shoulder that makes up the bottom left corner.
Bridget Ward 
This image is of a woman in a 'selfie' format. She is stood against a plain white background and is wearing a black top. She has a small smile and is wearing orange-framed glasses that match her brown-orange hair. She has a friinge that is parted toward her right-hand-side and her hair is cut evenly around until it falls just past her collarbones.
Claire Gribben 
The image is a close shot of a woman whose body and eyes and straight at the camera and her body is posed slightly angled away. The background is unfocused and othing is dstingishable, suggesting this photo is a professional headshot. The woman is wearing a white blouse with a purposefully-crinkled collar. This blouse is under a blue jacket with gold trim. She has light brown eyes and equally mousy brown hair cut to a medium length. The hair is brushed slightly back and falls down to her shoulders.
Melissa Godfray

She is wearing a horizontal-striped button-up shirt that is of a blue-grey colour with white stripes that has the top button undone. She is stood against a plain white background and her head is tilted slightly to her right-hand-side.
