Geraint Roberts
I am a London based freelance photographer mainly working on headshots, portraits, events and family groups. Alongside this I have my own projects. For this year’s London Photo Show I am presenting images from my ‘Other People’s Shoes’ series.
Other People’s Shoes is an exploration of loss and transition using shoes bought in local charity shops. I began to wonder about the lives of those who had worn the shoes. I have added text to each photograph, using paraphrased selections taken from death notices, obituaries and tributes.

Constantly inspired by nature I am drawn to see how light and colour can make an image peaceful or uplifting for both client work & personal projects. This series was taken at a friend’s award winning nursery Pheasant Acre Farm where I got lost in gorgeous dahlias.

I’ve had a camera since around 1984 (not the same one).
It was around then I took my first lightning photos where I live, Gravesend, Kent. UK
I’ve always been fascinated by storms, weather, clouds and light and photographed some, but it wasn’t till around 10 or 11 years ago I decided photography was actually what I wanted to do.
I’ve chased storms in the U.S so have seen around 40 tornadoes and was shortlisted a couple of years ago for the Astronomy Photographer of the Year for one of my Aurora shots. I’ve also got a photo in the Royal Meteorological Society’s weather photography book (Release 2021) that will celebrate its 170th anniversary, containing 170 photographs over the years.Photography became my freedom, It became my escape from pain. Having two rare spine diseases it was my medicine, I feel alive regardless of the weather or locations I find myself in, Having a camera in my hand and watching light change is such a magical experience.

Tomasz Kubowicz
I’m enthusiastic, full of passion and self-taught street photographer.
I like to walk with my camera and capture everyday life, especially on the street.
In my photography I’m looking for mythical decisive moment, but also inwardness, humour and irony.

“Lose yourself in your art and it will blossom like a flower”
In the same way that a child symbolises innocence, purity and beauty of life, so too, through my work, do I strive to take one back from the complexities and stresses of our modern world to what makes our world most beautiful….nature and it’s fragile yet powerful influence on us all….and this emphasising nature’s importance to our children, our future, our survival.
We all tend to lose ourselves in the challenges that life throws at us, sometimes hardly noticing the beauty that nature so generously provides us when we make the time to see rather than shut out.

Sophie has exhibited at every London Photo Show and previously displayed work from her travels in north east India, West Papua and Odisha, an Indian state on the East coast.
She travel alone with a guide and a driver. This year Sophie went to visit a Hindu community, the Ramnamis. Men and women are tattooed from tip to toe with the name of the god Ram and live in very remote villages. Sophie also went to visit an other tribe the Bonda. She met them at the market as it is forbidden to go to their village. It was Sophie’s second visit and they were happy when they saw her….
Stephane Leblon
Stephane is a French contemporary portrait photographer. After graduating from the Institute of Photography a few years ago, he realised that connecting with people and changing the way they look at themselves through beautiful photographs was the exciting way forward for his craft. Stephane covers very different fields of portraiture yet every field has the same emphasis on people and portraits. He has been published in various magazines in Surrey.
Stephane works with digital as well as film cameras, he loves this raw and nostalgic, atmospheric feel that certain film stocks can give to a portrait.
