CAPTURING CRISIS

In this new edition of ‘Capturing Crisis’ youth photography magazine, we present a special edition on a local coffee shop to learn of its championing and success. We present a photo essay on the charity Nourish Hub documenting its cycle of sustainability, healthy and free food for all.
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.
In the last pages, we present the world of teenagers and friends, and a few portraits from a series of portraits of staff at The Globe, the dedicated Shakespeare Theatre in central London. We hope you enjoy Capturing Crisis youth magazine!

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.

Capturing Crisis

I am incredibly pleased to present the fifth edition of Capturing Crisis photography and reporting magazine produced by the group of youths of the ‘Stories, Reporting Mag, Photography Course’ project.
Responding to the cost of living crisis, the young photographers have produced photo stories and photographs covering topics that expose social justice issues as well as current social and environmental changes.
In this issue, you will find photo stories documenting a community led urban space called ‘Meanwhile’ and street photography that in a candid manner seek to document the impact of the economic crisis.
I am very proud for the commitment, talent and drive demonstrated by the young participants.

Wondering About West London? Issue3

Wondering about West London? is a local news-based zine run by the Photojournalism Hub and created by young people living in West London.
The third issue brings together a compelling collection of photo stories, from a tender visual portrait of an elderly couple and explorations of street life, to a collective photo documentary reflecting on Christmas under the shadow of Covid-19. The zine is enriched by wonderful illustrations created by two young participants in the project.
Issue 3 offers an engaging, creative and often moving perspective on life in West London through the eyes of a new generation of budding photographers and journalists. The stories produced in and around the borough capture something of the time in which we live, offering a meaningful visual record of our communities, experiences and shared moments.
I am immensely proud of what the young contributors have achieved and of the creativity, resourcefulness and commitment they have brought to the project.
My sincere thanks to W12Together for supporting this worthwhile project and helping us create a space where young people can develop their voices through photography, journalism and visual storytelling.

Wondering About West London? Issue2

It is with great pleasure to present the second issue of Wondering about West London? a news-based zine run by the Photojournalism Hub and kindly supported by the resident-led partnership W12Together.
Wondering about West London? is produced by young people living in west London and covers local news and stories. This second issue reflects on the impact of Covid-19 on our communities with photo stories on isolation among the older generations and business owners’ survival. It shares the hopes of young people post-Covid-19 through a series of photo portraits and interviews, illustrations and a day in the life of an avid food lover and great young chef.
Wondering about West London? issue 2 brings amazing creative, resourceful and touching content from a youth perspective.
I am immensely proud for this achievement and I would like to renew my gratitude to W12together for supporting this worthwhile project – Cinzia D’Ambrosi, Editor in Chief.
