Photographers Gallery - The World In London


CHA

CHAD - Noh Ali Abakar Hassan
Photographer: Kate Peters
I came to London as a refugee and lived in Hackney. My first memory of coming here is seeing Trafalgar Square. I like to go out on the weekends and I think I'm the kind of person who likes to live amongst many different cultures. I've made a lot of friends and like London, and my new life here, very much

The colour contrast in this is brilliant the man really stands out against all the greenery. Its also a very typical British wood and to have him standing there its looks alien to him compared to his native landscape.

COOK ISLANDS - India Dane Ngatama May
Photographer: Charlotte Player
"My Dad built our house, and it was one room, with a showeroom with no roof, and a toilet that was joined onto the house, but sort of outside, and then as I grew up the house slowly got extended."

The focus in this is very odd as her arm is the sharpest in the image, however her face isnt completely out of focus so it just looks as though she has moved which gives a nice effect.

CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC - Catherine Teya
Photographer: Anastasia Taylor-Lind
"Because I'm very busy I don't really have the time to enjoy myself very much and I don't go out so much, but what I like really is just the freedom – London is so big and you can do so many things."


The still woman infront of the moving bus creates a fantastic image as it create a definte seperation of the background to the foreground. As well as the this the double decker bus resembles London relating back to the website.

FRANCE - Jessy Burrow
Photographer: Hayley Louisa Brown
"The only place you can study fashion is in London because there are so many opportunities for working with disigners, little projects, photographers..."


The collage of images works very well her showing the woman from many different points of view it looks like a fashion spread from a magazine. Mainly I like the editinf as it gives a very vintage effect wit hthe smokey fading pages and foggy images.
