Eros

by Stavri Georgiou

“This series of work was inspired by Greek mythology, working in collaboration with the model to produce the final result. An enchanting face portraying peacefulness and freedom. The model represents the heroes of Greek mythology, it travels the viewer to that old era. This series of work was created to make the viewer feel vulnerability and calmness, maybe even explore more about Greek mythology after looking at the images.”

‘The series of images were taken at Bocketts Farm Park. The Park has a lot of activities for the family to enjoy such as animal feeding, train tour etc. The farm is the home to various species of animals, which includes lambs, ducks, chicks, rabbits, lambs, goats, etc. It is indeed a great place for the family to enjoy and explore away from the business of the cities.’

If the Beach Were a Character

by Kayla Raquel Middleton

“This is one collection of black and white shots taken on Brighton’s shorefront. The photographs selected contain a story of their own, and together they make up the puzzle of a day at the beach:windy, rainy and idiosyncratic.”

Kayla Raquel Middleton is a current undergraduate in Media and Communications. She dreams of moving into the world of documentary/fiction films, meanwhile she has always had a passion for photography. Most prominently her focus is on exploring the streets through the medium of analogue photography. Originally from South Africa, but having moved to Italy at the age of 12 and frequently visiting Switzerland, she is fascinated with culture and humanity in its multifaceted nature. Her inspiration is to capture the essence of the streets, from the individuals who roam to the street as a character of its own.

Thoughts

TW: Sexual Assault

by Mekdes Kabeto

“I use photography almost like therapy, the act of taking photographic images gives me peace and grounds me which gives me space to figure out my thoughts and feelings, which I put into a sentence that I use alongside my images to create a story. This style of storytelling was inspired by Sarah Bahbah. I like to portray real emotions and vulnerability in my work. I think this piece came about from the open conversations I had with my friend that models for me.”

Mekdes Kabeto is a first-year journalism student. She loves storytelling in all forms, her personal medium is photography. She likes to explore different styles of photography and play with light and angles. Her biggest inspirations are Sarah Bahbah, Sam Dameshek, people in her life, and conversations she has as well as movies and music.
