Our Habitat

We are delighted to present the first edition of Local Lens Magazine, Our Habitat. This magazine is the result of a community-led project in which residents of London Hammersmith & Fulham borough became the reporters, photographers and visual storytellers of their own neighbourhood.

Through training, mentoring and collaborative editorial support, participants researched, photographed and wrote stories that matter to them, demonstrating that powerful journalism can be created by local people with lived experience.

The theme of this first issue, Our Habitat, emerged naturally from the participants’ interests. Their stories explore the environment in its broadest sense from green spaces and biodiversity to the places, communities and local issues that shape everyday life.

This is an incredibly rich first edition of the magazine, which you can read online directly on our website or pick up locally at the library, NHG offices in W3, and selected shops on Askew Road.

Local Lens is part of our wider vision to create a community newsroom, bringing together local reporting, documentary photography and visual storytelling produced by residents. Through this initiative, we are developing a platform for photo stories which focus on stories that matter to residents, training and supporting local residents, photographers and journalists, amplifying underrepresented voices, providing a space for connection and well-being, and investing in citizen-led photojournalism.

If you would like to get involved, we would love to hear from you! No previous experience is necessary. We provide the training, mentoring and editorial support needed to help participants research, report, write and photograph stories to a high professional standard. We warmly welcome new participants to join us.

Our young team also reported on Free Palestine local and national responses. And we present evocative images at Meanwhile Gardens, a photo story on volunteers creating a community garden at Factory Quarter in west London.

Capturing Crisis is a youth documentary and photojournalism magazine. All features and photographs are created by participants of ‘Stories, Reporting Mag, Photography Course’.
The magazine provides the opportunity for youths who never had access to, to share their photography and photo stories to a large audience. Photojournalism Hub is committed to providing opportunities and support to youths, enabling equality in accessing opportunities for further education and work in the photo industry.
Capturing Crisis magazine is a testament of the great work and inspiring contribution of our youths.

The project is supported by the NHS west London trust, Hammersmith and Fulham Council and Sobus.
