My London - Homeless Photographers Capture The Capital
Matilda Long
A thought-provoking photography competition has seen homeless Londoners capture their unique perspectives of the city.
MyLondon Photography Competition 2016 is run by the charity Cafe Art, which uses art to connect homeless people to their communities.
The charity gave a disposable camera to 200 homeless people, who were given the task of picturing the city as they experience it – the results were a joyful depiction of the capital’s people, buildings and quirks.
