Café Art is a London-based social enterprise dedicated to empowering individuals affected by homelessness through creative expression and community engagement. Since its inception in 2012, Café Art has been instrumental in providing platforms for homeless artists to showcase their talents, fostering connections between these individuals and the broader community.

Central to Café Art’s mission is the annual MYLONDON project, a photography initiative that invites people with lived experience of homelessness to capture their perspectives of London. Participants are provided with single-use Fujifilm QuickSnap 35mm film cameras and given seven days to take 27 photographs, offering a unique glimpse into the city’s landscape through their eyes.

“Nature whispers….those who listen find peace -“

Flowers gracefully sway in the wind like dancers do to music.

They dance, perform to us, showing off their magic as they fill our lives with beauty, colour and mesmerizing scent.

I am a true believer in the preservation of nature in all its magnificence and I seek to awaken this awareness through my photography and art.

Concentrating on black and white photography, both film and digital, I look to create portraits of our environment that allow room for interpretation and perhaps a little mystery. Selecting the images for this exhibition I arrived at a working title of “Illustrations for an unwritten novel”

Paulina says – I am a Mexican women based currently in London. I have always loved photography since I was a child.

I have recently focused more on street photography as a way to capture a moment, the soul of a place, the people in their daily routines, but also embracing the shadows as part of our lives.

I am an Iraqi-born photographer, my passion for the art began in childhood, evolving into both a lifelong hobby and a professional career.

I view photography as a “second eye” through which I explores a world of wonder, spirit, and transparency that others may not see.

I hold a postgraduate Diploma from the British Academy of Photography (BABH),London (2021).

I am a member of the Dorking Camera Club .

Through my lens, I capture the beauty in everyday moments, inviting viewers into my unique world.

Noémie Decaen is a French and Japanese woman based in London. She has always had a passion for the arts and music since she was young.

She grew up in Paris—a city that forever resonates within her— and moved to London in 2014.

After years of shooting on and off, mostly focusing on travel and portrait photography, she developed an interest in street photography. She is looking for the real, the funny, the weird and the beautiful in the streets, celebrating people and life.

You can find most of her photography work shared on her Instagram account. She is always up for meeting new people, exchanging and sharing, so feel free to drop her a message!

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 the change.
Stephen has always felt himself drawn to the themes of “identity, abandonment, and stories untold, particularly in the streets of London and the English sea-side towns that represent a large part of his youth.

Stephen’s distinctive photographs, frequently stripped bare of excessive detail, reflect his intuitive presentness, often revealing emotions hidden or stories untold, moments of time captured by his keen eye.

“The Corner of My Eye” — Street Photography by Robert “Eddie” Edwards.

These photographs are glimpses — moments half-seen, caught in passing, like a whisper in the wind. I take them while walking my dog along the Thames, where the city shifts and shimmers with every step. People pass, light falls, stories unfold for a heartbeat… then vanish.

Shot in black and white, these images are fragments of London’s South Bank — a place both familiar and ever-changing. I don’t go looking for pictures; they tend to find me. A reflection, a silhouette, a gesture — something small but electric, something seen not head-on but from the corner of my eye.

Jashika is a South African-born UK-based nature photographer, a wildlife lover and an explorer of our beautiful planet. Jashika’s love for wildlife and nature came before her love for photography and she has a slight addiction to paws and whiskers! She believes that photographs can inspire a love for our planet, creating a desire and awareness of what is needed to protect it.

While working full-time as an actuarial consultant, Jashika is happiest on the plains of the Maasai Mara or between icebergs in the Arctic. The wildlife photographs displayed here represent a curated selection from her travels across diverse ecosystems and continents. Each photograph tells a story of connection with the natural world – from intimate portraits to candid moments that reveal the personality and behaviour of wild animals in their natural habitats.

I have lived and worked in London my whole adult life until retiring relatively early in 2018. This is when I took up photography and it became a kind of therapy for me, continually searching for the ultimate shot. Many of my images I think convey a sense of how small we are and often isolated in a towering city of 9 million people. Others are more abstract but still retain a human element. The time has come to print some off and see them in a non-digital frame.
