London 2012 blog

I am one of the three photographers working on the ‘My World’ project getting schoolchildren across the five Host Boroughs to go out and be photojournalists covering their own lives and communities.

On the streets with the schoolchildren:

 

I’ve spent most of my career looking at social issues both in the UK and in many countries across Africa. 

Many of these children involved in Welcoming the World don’t realise that they are living in an extraordinary time and place. I hope that by looking at their lives and communities through photography they will come to see what a remarkable place the five Host Boroughs are to live in 2008.

Cultural and social division is rife within the world. The role of London as a beacon of hope it vital and I hope this project reflects this.

Keep and eye on this website for photographs from My World.
