Planning To Run An Underground DCR? Message Me

So, anyone planning or already running an unsanctioned space in the UK who would like to have access to my photographic skills for documenting their work please get in touch. In 3-10 years when one of the big name charities finally opens an official site they are going to say they are the first one in the UK, it likely won’t be true. It will ignore the work of smaller grassroots projects, likely run by people who use drugs and run without large funding pots.

Look back at the work done in harm reduction over the years, AIDS activism, early days of needle programmes, protests etc we know of them partially because they worked but we really know them because we see them in the few photos that people took at the time, photos that showed the daily life of people involved. Photographic work like that is important, and I’m more than happy to support underground projects. This can be by providing photographic coverage, or by showing people the best ways to do this themselves. Any photos I take for a project like this would be kept with a growing collection of similar images that won’t see the light of day until they are needed. All conversations regarding this kind of work are in strictest confidence.
