Giorgia Cheli
My photography aims to capture oddities in the ordinary and give a voice to unseen details (often holding an energy of their own).
I am particularly drawn to juxtaposition and infusion of a subtle sense of humour. I love how the terrestrial can transform itself into extraterrestrial; street photography becomes abstraction and vice versa.
My eyes seek out authentic moments where reality takes on a surreal twist, allowing my mind to experience, for a fraction of a second, answers to BIG questions. Irony, largely underrated, plays an essential role in my life and works.

Thomas Temple
Thomas was born in Carlisle and started doing photography at the age of 17. He then went on to study photography at university in Newcastle. Once graduating, Thomas worked in the photojournalism industry for 5 years as a Press Photographer, covering the whole North West of the UK. Throughout his life, Thomas has always had a passion for capturing moments in time through street photography and being able to convey through photos, topics he is interested and fascinated in much better that you could do through words. He enjoys shooting in different locations across Europe, the North of England and in his current location of London, since moving there 3 years ago. Thomas feels his best street photography work comes about from being in busy, hectic and bustling environments.
Rod Higginson
Rod was born in in Liverpool, England in 1954 and lived in Southport until the age of 21. He began taking photographs age 9 with a Box Brownie and a Kodak Instamatic, but became serious about photography after purchasing his first Leica, a D-Lux 2. He has used M9, M240 Monochrome, M10, Q and now the M10 Monochrome.
Rod has lived, travelled and worked in Brighton, Israel, Denmark, and London, before moving to his beloved Somerset where he now lives with his partner. Being outdoors has always been essential to his everyday life and work, and informs his photography. The breadth of subject matter and raw material Somerset offers – coastline, Exmoor, ancient buildings and land, churches and the local inhabitants and craftsmen – have all been captured by Rod’s lens.

Samantha Chippington
As an amateur architecture photographer with an eye for the urban landscape, I am passionate about documenting the ever-evolving cityscapes and the intricate relationship between architecture and urban regeneration. With my pictures, I strive to capture the transformative power of architecture in reshaping our cities and the stories that they tell.
My journey into photography, which started with travel and wildlife, has more recently grown into a fascination with the built environment. I often explore the streets of London, marvelling at the blend of historical and contemporary structures that shape the city’s identity. I find beauty in the intricate details of skyscrapers, the symmetry of bridges and staircases, and the interplay of light and shadows within the cityscape. For me, the city is a living canvas, continually evolving with the passage of time. I enjoy the ingenious modern designs that breathe new life into neglected neighbourhoods. Every photograph I take is an interpretation of the city’s resilience and its ability to adapt and grow.
Living in London, I am able to capture pictures of iconic architecture and urban regeneration projects and I enjoy exploring the ever-changing landscapes. When I joined the ‘Renewal’ project group, I naturally gravitated to the regeneration in central London and the renewal I see on my walk to work. My focus, for now, are the cranes that tower over the skies around me. With time, I look forward to capturing the new shapes and styles that grow from such simple concrete seeds.

Liz Tarren
I am a Berkshire based photographer and digital artist, living near Windsor. My work leans towards the abstract, using the camera as a brush and digital manipulation to move beyond the boundaries of conventional representation.
As part of a group project, I explored the symbolism around the theme Renewal. Renewal, as represented through cultural symbols, encapsulates the themes of growth, regeneration, transformation, and the cyclic nature of life.
