Photographing for charities is the sort of job I like to be involved with.
Over the years, I've worked with charities that foster a variety of different causes from environmental to art as tool for social change (namely, Glimpse, Possible, Clean Cities Campaign, People's Palace Projects, The Verbatim Formula, Stages Toolkit and Mina | Migrants in Action).
With many of these charities, I've developed a long term working relationship - some lasting more than eight years and counting -, which makes me truly overjoyed.
I've also been lucky to work with universities such as King's College | Science Gallery and Queen Mary University in projects that combine research, community engagement and social change.
You'll find below photos that highlight some of these collaborations, particularly with the charities that work with environmental causes.
Westminster - Listen to Us
Glimpse organised a visit to Westminster, where young people spoke to Members of Parliament about the environmental problems affecting their communities.
The Cargo Revolution Campaign
Photos for The Cargo Revolution Campaign, which celebrates pioneering businesses who are adopting cargo bikes - You'll see below the original photo and how they were used on the Cargo Revolution website.
For More Child-Friendly, Cycle-Friendly Towns and Cities
Here, I photographed one of the many collective rides organised by Kidical Mass and Streets for Kids, where children and their parents rode together to demonstrate the demand for more child-friendly, cycle-friendly towns and cities. Fun fact: for most of the photoshoot, I was photographing on the back of a cargo bike!
I’ve also photographed countless events for Better Streets and Possible, including parklets, The School Jam campaign, and meetings aimed at planning a pedestrian-friendly Hyde Park Corner. Here’s a selection capturing some of these projects' highlight moments.
