Brigitte Flock
The images were taken as part of a personal project in my local borough, looking at ways older people can participate in and enjoy a variety of activities and how these help to fight isolation, creating communities and a sense of belonging. The project was a departure from my usual focus on urban and industrial landscapes.
CJ Crosland
CJ Crosland is a self-taught artist and street photographer. These images are from their current project “Fishing With Dynamite”, a series of flash street photography. The second zine from this series “ZEST” is out now. www.cjcrosland.com
Terence Lane
Terence Lane is a self-taught photographer based in Sherwood Forest. Areas of interest include the urban and rural landscape – sometimes responding to the formal aspects of design placed within or growing out of a landscape, at other times attempting to make some sense of the apparent organised chaos in nature.

Francis Minien MA ARPS
Our world is not perfect, but it is beautiful and there is beauty in the everyday. I seek the extraordinary in the everyday, the abstract in the actual. I live, travel and explore my everyday world and capture what I see as the essence of our imperfect world.

Christopher Burke
I came to photography late, via a BA in Fine Art, St Martin’s College of Art. I attended summer school at Goldsmiths’ College, University of London, with CUCR, which helped define what kind of photography I was practising. It was a happy coincidence that the photos I took at Folkestone on Remembrance Day 2018 were singularly apt for this subject.

I’m a freelance photographer and for ‘work’ I’m usually taking headshots and covering events. When I’m not doing that, I’m still a photographer, often using my old Nikon D3200 as my carrying about camera. I try to get a few pictures every day of whatever catches my eye.

Len Salem
Len’s photography is more about how he feels and responds to a subject than documenting it. He works more often within the framework of a project rather than in single images and sometimes uses text as an integral part of the work. He is always prepared to diverge from both these approaches and tries to keep an open mind on the best way to present a new idea.
