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.

Artist and Writer, David Barnett explores the human condition in his photographs. His ongoing projects ‘Written on Skin’ and ‘Skin’, place people of different skin types, sexualities and genders at the centre of his work to search the human condition.

Words have been written on the skin as slogans to signify the connection that we all ultimately share, something that people can feel removed from when they prioritise money and technology. ‘How might things change if we prioritised kindness and compassion?’ The work explores the one thing that is at the core of our very essence …LOVE.
