Photography+ Street #16 is out now!

This issue focuses on the urban environments that surround us and the communities that use them. Photography+ Street has been published to coincide with the launch of @picturinghighstreets, a digital mass participation project between Photoworks and @historicengland.

The street has historically been a site for studies of social life and photography has captured the lives and relationships of the communities that inhabit them.

Read more to find out how the artists and writers explored the theme of street in this issue.

Hi everyone, this is Felicity Butcher @felicityphotos, sharing a few images from my latest monograph ‘When The Magnolias Bloom’.

In this project I also documented the still and quiet moments, times when I was feeling thoughtful. By simply being with my family and in places where Elaine had been, she was always on my mind, so perhaps she exists even in the photographs that are just of moments like this one of the sunrise one morning.

‘Sunrise’, 2022

Hi everyone, this is Felicity Butcher @felicityphotos, here for this week’s takeover, sharing a few images from my latest monograph ‘When The Magnolias Bloom’.

Me and grandma spent the morning looking through her red box, and all of the artifacts of our ancestry that it contained.

‘Grandma’s Important Document Box’, 2022

‘Newspaper Notices of Birth and Congratulations, John and Elaine’s Wedding Photos, Grandma’s Mini Album’ 2022.

ID1: photograph of an open red box on a sofa with some documents laid out on the coffee table in front of it.

ID2: photograph of newspaper clippings of notices of Elaine’s birth and 21st birthday, John and Elaine’s wedding photos and a miniature photo album containing photos of Elaine as a child.
