Wayne Campbell - Afro Activism
Professionally printed on 10x12 Arches 88 fine art matte paper, 100% cotton-rag.
Beauty and Activism entwined in a powerful dance of resistance.
This picture was taken outside the American Embassy in June 2020. When I saw this lady walking towards me, holding her sign, I moved towards her and held up my camera and asked if I could take a picture, she nodded, and I immediately started snapping away in the exact position I saw her. It was not until I got home and saw the pictures in situ with the background and those around that I realised how powerful the shot was.
Five years ago, Wayne Campbell, a photographer, took to the streets of London to record the protests that happened on the streets of his home town after the murder of George Floyd. This was the beginning of a journey, which has transformed his view on politics, empathy, as well as the polarising and divisive nature of our media. Wayne says: “I grew up in Brixton, South London, in the seventies, a decade in which being Black was the only reason one needed to be stopped by the police” The pictures that he has taken over the past five years form the basis of two of his historic photography books that have captured the mood, rage, love and hope of the people of London.
“Photofusion have supported me throughout my journey into visual activism. There professionalism and attention to detail have made my work even stronger. Our community needs a space that can represent our visual stories and give visibility to those whose light is yet to be ignited. This service is very much needed.” -Wayne Campbell
