As a UK based photographer, I can often be found kicking around London looking to capture interesting scenes and characters. With a strong passion for street photography, I am interested in the day to day interaction of the human element and the urban environment. Whether it be capturing the interplay of light, shadow and geometry, or using flash to create dynamic environmental scenes, capturing the beat of the street is what drives my passion for photography.

Ahsan is an Editorial and Portrait Photographer based out of London. His style of photography is deeply rooted in photojournalism, influenced by fine-art, documentary and fashion photography.

‘In the heart of Gilgit-Baltistan, nestled within the breathtaking landscapes of Northern Pakistan, my lens captured a series of candid portraits and landscapes that encapsulate the essence of the region.

These photographs were taken during my K2 Base Camp Trek, where the vibrant spirit of the locals and the majesty of the landscape shone through.

Hey, I’m Manu – a camera-wielding hobbyist inspired by my time in the Royal Holloway Photography Society, on a visual journey! This exhibit explores my photography journey, where life’s quirkiest, loveliest, and unexpected moments get their spotlight.

From my attempts to capturing cities to landscapes through digital and film formats, I’ve bottled up feelings in every pic. My photos aren’t just pixels; they’re vibes, stories, and a dash of my perspective. Take a tour, find your groove, and let these frames nudge your imagination.

I unexpectedly got absorbed into photography from the College years when I used to create video diaries of my time volunteering and helping out at my local nature reserve in 2001 which used to be every Wednesday for a year. It was during 2002 / 2003 year of my agricultural studies at Riseholme College, Lincoln’s work experience time when the photography started to take a hold of me. I ended up taking more pictures than video and decided to study the photography world in 2003. I started to go on my own business of photography in 2005, which I also photograph Equestrian Events and Weddings to this day. From the start though one of my big admirations is landscapes and travel. Since then I had been selected at over 20 world exhibitions and featured in publications internationally.

After a successful international career in fashion, London-based fine art photographer Stephen Sunnucks made the decision to focus his time on his art and has never regretted this change. Stephen has always felt himself drawn to the themes of “abandonment, identity and the sea”, particularly in the streets of London and to the British seaside towns that represent a large part of his youth.

His distinctive photographs, often stripped bare of excessive detail, reflect his nostalgic perception of times gone by, moments of time fleetingly captured by his keen eye.

Mark is a contemporary photographer who specialises in black and white landscape photography. Mark explores the idea of glimpsing other worlds and other realities with his use of both black and white and long exposure exposure. The people who collect his work often say that his images provoke an emotional response, ranging from providing a sense of tranquility through to being disturbing.

Mark is also a management team member of the prestigious Cambridge Open Studios, one of the first artist-run open studio organisations in the country, which represents over 500 artists.

In 2021 after 15 years in the Metropolitan police in London, I moved to France, bought my first mirrorless camera and rediscovered my love and passion for photography, in particular fine art street photography.

Drawing from the skills and experiences gained from my years in the police, interacting, engaging and dealing with differing people in ever-changing situations, I try to look at things in front of me from an alternative point of view and at all angles.

I mainly shoot in black and white and enjoy the use of negative space and the visual impact that can create. Solitude; “The state of being alone without being lonely.”

My photographic process entails the solitary exploration of out-of-the-way places. I experiment with limited light and color to encapsulate feelings of being adrift, studying a peacefulness within myself that is tainted by a background sense of disquiet.

In my work I attempt to present the sublime beauty of places which have a greatness beyond measurement or imitation, places besides which we recognize our own insignificance and limitations.

Whilst seeking out these locations I am also drawn to the world on a smaller scale, creating visually simple but absorbing images through high contrast tones and muted colours.

Mina Demiroren is a Turkish-Norwegian photographer based in London, England. She enjoys what she calls “diary photography” along with planned shoots that have a clearer narrative, and mostly utilises analog processes, such as film and darkroom printing, but does also use digital processes, although she prefers to leave her photographs unedited, aside from adding text or details such as that.

I’m a creative 20-something who fell into photography by accident and have loved it ever since. I enjoy capturing anything and everything that sparks my curiosity and imagination. I’m thrilled to share my works with you and give you an insight into my wonderment, whatever that may be. The photos shared here are reflective pieces of some of the amazing places I have been able lucky to visit with friends this past year.
