Community Photojournalism Projects

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.

Communities

Youth Magazine

The Photojournalism Hub is proud to present the latest edition of documentary photography and writings from our workshop participants. This issue focuses on the theme of ‘Communities’ in its broadest sense.

Our participants have captured stories using a social documentary approach, reported directly on community events, and explored the meaning of community from both personal and broader perspectives.
We feature stories of communities of skaters, Meanwhile Gardens and the fight for its survival, exploring graffiti as a community voice, local venues that forms hubs of community attraction and support, and much more. Additionally, we present stories that have been taken abroad as some participants find that communities is what they feel they belong to.

The photo stories in this edition demonstrate a strong level of ownership of the medium of photography and visual narrative. I am delighted to share them with you.
