In February PhotoVoice’s Matt Daw and Clare Struthers delivered a photography and citizen journalism for ten members of the Migrant Resource Centre: Engaging Communities Project, in partnership with GlobalNet21.

The workshop introduced those attending to the potential of photography as a way to speak out and be heard. Participants were introduced to the different styles and purposes of photography, and were given tips to increase the quality of their photographs and their power to communicate a message or a story. The photos in this slideshow are the results of an exercise to explore the area around the workshop venue – Whitecross Street in East London – and create a photograph that captures and conveys a particular perspective on it.
