people from UK and/or a citizen of UK who take street photographs

Francesco Gioia
I am a self-taught photographer born in Florence in 1991.

I was initially employed with a photojournalism agency and curated a very rich historical archive of over three million images taken between 1944 – 1980s by founder Giulio Torrini who captured half a century of Florence’s history.

Afterwards, in 2015, I moved to London where I currently live.

My inspiration is my home city, Brighton. Brighton has a reputation for being a ‘free-thinking city’ – and my photography reflects
some of that free-thinking spirit.I walk out of my front door without knowing what I might find – curiosity is my motivation.
If I’m lucky I might arrive home having photographed something surreal, something humorous or maybe something graphically pleasing.
I like to walk with an open mind and experiment with the moment as it unfolds.
I’m a graphic designer and street photographer based in Brighton, UK.
After 3 decades in graphic design I was unable to ignore my passion any longer and recently pledged to make more time for street photography.
2019 Finalist:

I started taking street photographs in 2016, whilst working as a developer for a marketing agency in London. It was one simple decision to take my camera to work with me, but I instantly fell in love with photographing the streets. I am a self-taught photographer, and was already shooting music events on a limited part-time basis – but street photography taught me an entirely new approach to photography. It rekindled my enjoyment of capturing the moment, demanding a relinquishing of control combined with a new level of intuition and instinct. In 2019 I started my wedding and event photography business full-time, from my home on the West Sussex and Surrey border in the UK. But street photography is my testing ground for experimentation and artistic expression, and I take nearly everything I learn from it into my freelance work. I honestly believe street photography is one of the most valuable, important genres of photography today – not only is it one of the most accessible ways into photography, but one that continues to teach and inspire photographers on many different levels.

About The Collection

With this series of photographs, I was particularly interested in the combination of line, shape, bold colours and minimalism. I wanted to use these qualities to express the hidden aesthetics in what might otherwise appear to be very ordinary aspects of urban life. With this style of work, I particularly enjoy how the medium of photography can transform the mundane into something surreal or humorous, simply by how it is composed and presented.

I am Georgie. I am a self-taught photographer based in London and I am a mother to three boys. I’ve had a sincere passion for music and photography from an early age. I have a rather wonderful ability to memorise lyrics and since starting my instagram account in early 2019 I have managed to bring together my two passions.
I’ve found an outlet for channelling my thoughts and expressing myself. I often search for an image that would fit a particular favourite lyric or vice versa. I might take an image and find a fitting lyric to turn it into a story or perhaps just an emotion. I can only hope my images translate to my audience in a way that they are left feeling moved in one way or another.

About The Collection

City Chronicles: Athens
Athens: The poet Aristophanes * 450 BC considered it unnecessary to send silver coins to the rich city of Athens. At that time, Greece was the leading culture in Europe. Today, with the help of aid packages and savings projects it tries to get the crisis under control. Tourism should also help. Annually24.8 million tourists come to visit Greece. The main attraction the capital of Athens are the remains of theancient Greece. We visited the remnants of the ancient as well as the traces of the currently battered Greece.We met tourists, migrants and Athenians who gave us a picture of a city that could not be more contrasting.
City Chronicles: Madrid
Madrid. Mainly photographing after dawn and using a rather untypical approach to street photography, where the subject is aware and involved, we created a subjective portrait of the Spanish capital.
