In the bustling heart of the city, where the concrete jungle meets artistic expression, lies a world of hidden beauty that often goes unnoticed by the hurried passerby. In these photographs, we discover a world that invites us to pause and contemplate the essence of impermanence. The photographer captures fleeting moments where a single raindrop can distort an entire mural or where a gentle breeze transforms the reflection into an ephemeral abstract composition. Each shot tells a unique story, allowing us to appreciate graffiti not just as a static work of art but as a dynamic and ever-evolving expression of urban culture. This art form celebrates the ephemeral nature of the city, where nothing stays the same, and even the most brilliant graffiti eventually yields to the elements.

Alina Pullen is a motherhood photographer based in SE London. She is a daughter of a photographer and a mother herself.

After becoming a mother, Alina has found herself in a very dark and lonely place. The images that reflected motherhood around looked polished and fresh, full of blissful scenes of smiling new mothers bonding with their newborns. In only two years, Alina Pullen has received recognition for her motherhood work from Photo Vogue with over 50 works published, LensCulture Critics review and has helped dozens of mothers to see themselves and their motherhood in a different light. Here is Alina’s account of why she chose to become a motherhood photographer:

Nicola Bolton is a visual artist and photographer. Her style is genre fluid, moving between traditional photography and expressionist artwork, where the camera is her medium. Her approach to art is experimental. She blends colours and shifts form to produce new life. These altered realities are energetic representations of time and place, real and imagine, capturing the essence of “the moment”.

At London Photo Show, Nicola is showing her Kaleidoscope series, inspired by the geometric form of coloured tiles and windows in Morocco and created from the same base image. She loved – and still has – her childhood kaleidoscope, fascinated by the beautiful forms and views made as light reflects off simple objects sandwiched between glass – a mini form of stained glass, which she also loves. Her work is for sale.

I am pleased to be exhibiting some of my photographic work again in the 2023 London Photo Show.

My display this year contains 15 framed prints selected from my ‘Sunsets and Reflections’ collection, many of which were displayed at my exhibition held in Southend On Sea last April.

I am also delighted to be able to display 2 very large mounted, sepia prints of Covent Garden Market, which although printed in the mid 1980’s have not been exhibited before. These 2 prints from 35mm sized negatives, were processed by myself and a friend who’s invaluable help was much appreciated at the time. I would like to take this opportunity to explain the procedure that had to be followed to enable me to achieve this.

Since 1981 I have used photography to speak for me, its language being my first tongue in many ways. From painting to photography, the two dimensional representation of the world (as I see it) has mattered most throughout the intervening years.
I’m fortunate in that my career has allowed me to work within photography in various guises, from portrait studio to crime scene. Personal projects motivate me to create on an almost daily basis. Presented here are two friends of mine. Nothing more, nothing less.

Joe Bogar is a South Coast street photographer based in sleepy Hayling Island

Gaining qualifications at the Berkshire College of Art and Design, Joe was quick to join the world of photojournalism, having pictures featuring in National and local newspapers.

Using his camera he pursues themes which attempt to show the national identity of Britain and the everyday mundane life of the British people in their leisure activities.

Heavily influenced by Tony Ray Jones and Chris Steele-Perkins he follows in the tradition of street and documentary photography fascinated by the routines, rituals of the British at play.

We are a group of 15 photographers, mostly living in London but also from Devon, Italy and Germany. We all love Nikon cameras and we have each selected an image for this display.

Julia combines her passion for traveling and surfing in her photography. As a digital nomad, she usually stays in different places around the world for a few weeks to capture the spirit of the place and the pictures that portray it best.
The photos in the exhibition have been taken in Spain, Portugal and Costa Rica and show the waves, the ocean, and on some occasions, surfers.

Renewal – Nature & Nurture

20 Giclee Prints on Hanhemühle Photo Rag Paper.

For this exhibition, I am showing as part of a small group that chose to make work inspired by the theme of Renewal.

I’m an adventurous photographer, my ambitions usually exceed my practical ability but that doesn’t seem to get in the way. I’ve been exploring photography for a couple of years, and this is the first time I’ve made work in response to a theme.
