About
Street photography can reveal as much about the life of a place as it does the individual subject. It is a record of the everyday to the more pivotal moments that make our history. Contemporary photographers continue to redefine the genre, turning to photojournalism, documentary and conceptualism as influences. But what do the images of today tell us about the time we are in? What is the social responsibility of practitioners today when capturing private moments from closed worlds?
Join Olivia Arthur, Eddie Otchere and Johny Pitts in conversation as they share their experiences of working across different local geographies and what it means to see a city through the eyes of its residents.
