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. 

My work is intertwined with the unique collection of bird feathers that I have gathered locally over time. Feathers have long been symbolic across cultures, embodying various meanings and representing diverse beliefs, including regrowth and renewal.

Glimmers (2023) photography / encaustic medium

The autumn is in full swing, the evenings are drawing out, the darkness is pushing upwards and outwards. We look for light and warmth, clinging onto any glimmer we come upon. A glimmer is also a word used by some psychologists to refer to moments of pleasure, flow, connection when you feel whole and wholesome; the exact opposite of a trigger if you like. Being able to spot those cues and dropping into your body to fully experience such moments of joy and safety can help to rewire our nervous system, leading to emotional regulation. In the series called ‘Glimmers’ presented at London Photo Show, I’m looking for light and warmth in the landscape but also for joy and safety the creative flow brings me into.

I took up photography 6 years ago after a long break and have enjoyed meeting new people and seeing new places. I have lots to learn still but have enjoyed the encouragement of work ing on a collaborative project.

My project is about Diana, who in 2007 contracted meningitis and as a result had both legs amputated below the knee and the fingers of her right hand. She also lost three finger tips on her left hand. It also left her with a rare form of epilepsy which affects her balance. Horses have always played an important part in Diana’s life and she used riding as therapy to help in her recovery. Diana and her horse Horatio (Tio) are now aiming for the Paris 2024 Para Olympic Games as a Grade IV dressage rider.

I am an equine and dog photographer based in Northeast Hampshire. I have been taking photographs since my early teens. I have always been interested in the environment and the impact humanity has on it, ever since seeing the rainforests in Malaysia in the mid 1970’s being chopped down to make way for palm oil and rubber production. I eventually went on to study Ecology at University

I decided to approach the theme ‘Renewal’ from an environmental point of view. It is interesting to photograph the changes that happen in the vegetation once human activity stops.

My name is Benito Mpangi, a Londoner, born and bred.

I’m currently completing my business degree although I am a creative at heart. My primary creative passion being; photography.

I shoot predominantly in the evening trying to fix my focus on capturing social realism, tender and difficult moments as well as more abstract scenes.

Street photography allows me to share my views and thoughts with freedom. More importantly, having the opportunity to document people from all backgrounds is something I treasure greatly. Street photography allows me to explore the depths of who I am and where I fit into this world through the context and canvas of humanity, our societies and the dichotomy of love and pain that makes up both.

I am mostly a nature, wildlife and landscape photographer but enjoy dabbling in portraiture and product photography as well.
Beauty can be found in great landscapes and in minute shapes. I look for colour and harmony, and abstract compositions. Nature awes me and inspires me.
I have been working on a series about water for the past few years, using all sorts of different gear, from a full-frame DSLR to a drone and a GoPro.

Art was always part of me, my light in the dark. In my work, I strive to evoke a sense of mystery and enigma. I hope to achieve this with the interplay between deep colours and the light that brings them out of the shadows. I believe that it’s in these subtle nuances that the true drama unfolds.

I have experience as a photographer and art director. Over the years, I’ve organised numerous workshops and creative photoshoots and worked with professional and amateur models, always with great fun and results.

“Knitted Heroes” is a touching collaboration between photographer and toy designer Christopher Moon and his mother Glenis.

The project has its roots within Moon’s childhood experience in Yorkshire, where Action Man played a leading role in storytelling adventures and creative play, from acting as a makeshift crash test dummy to impersonating Bruce Forsythe on the Generation Game.

Moon would spend hours playing with Action Man whilst his mother Glenis would lovingly knit jumpers, trousers and Starsky and Hutch inspired cardigans, setting the figures apart from the normally military themes of the period.

He also had his first solo exhibition in Hoxton London in May 2023. He has formed a photography collective who will have their first exhibition in January 2024 again in Hoxton London. Vonny appreciates almost all genres of photography but doesn’t like being boxed in creatively. In this exhibition many might say that the photographs could fall into the genre of street photography.
