When you use a digital camera vs a film camera
fast vs slow, instant vs intentional.
some things just feel better when you wait for them 🎞️

Analogue Level 1 & 2 (May–June intake) is now open.
Learn the craft of film photography with us.

Big thanks to everyone who joined us last Thursday for our Slow Photography Studio Open Day！

From getting to know film photography, to trying out large format cameras, and stepping into the darkroom to experience the full developing process，we hope this slower, more intentional way of creating gave you a fresh perspective on photography.

Beyond digital, it was great to explore different ways of making images together，especially those unique results created in the darkroom, each with its own story.

We had such a great time sharing this curious and creative evening with you all, and hope you walked away with something new ✨ See you again soon！

She spent one year walking in Africa.
Not chasing anything.
Not escaping anything.
Just walking.

At the same time, two volunteers were teaching in Kenya —
documenting classrooms, sunlight, paint-stained fingers,
and the quiet dignity in children’s eyes.

This March in Shoreditch,
their stories meet.
🎬 Film screening: A Walk in Africa
📷 Photo exhibition: Africa · A Freedom Region I Can Arrive
This isn’t about “changing the world.”
It’s about witnessing it honestly.
If you’re in London and craving something slower,
something real —
come.

Then walk through Brick Lane.
Maybe freedom begins there.
