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.

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.

Sonia Fitoussi
I am a French, London based photographer. Originally working as a lawyer, the seed of passion for street photography has been planted in 2004 when I moved from Paris to London. I have a deep passion for cities in general and more particularly for London, its bright colours and its people. Photographing is my daily dose of adrenaline and I can’t help myself to look at the world surrounding me as a possible shot. All my photos are candid, I like colour and texture, combined with witty and affecting human juxtapositions. I love British humour and my favourite word is serendipity which describes perfectly for me what is Street Photography.
My photos have been shown in several solo exhibitions in London, Paris, Deauville. I was also one of the finalist of the Women Street photographer’s festival in New York in December 2019.
