The young photographers of Future Hackney’s youth project were back on the street last week, cameras and equipment to hand, in the latest – socially distanced – chapter of their continuing enterprise to record the vivid lives and stories of Ridley Road, one of east London’s most vibrant communities.
Tapiwa Cronin, 15, and Kiarra Joseph, 13, were assisting Future Hackney founder Donna Travis to take portraits and carry out interviews with Ridley Road locals. They were discovering how to interview, hold the reflector, try out shots, and learning about lighting and background. Later, their work will be published on social media.
