In-Public is delighted to welcome two new members to the group. We’ve long been fans of the humorous seaside observations of talented Bournemouth (UK) photographer Paul Russell, and the classical b/w street scenes of George Kelly from Portland, Oregon.

This brings to 20 the number of In-Public street photographers who’ll be helping us celebrate our 10th anniversary by showing their work at London’s Photofusion Gallery in Brixton, London, between the 27th May and the 10th July 2010.

A Very Odd Campaign

Sunday 20 April 2008

As street photographers, we naturally share the concerns felt by many in the photographic community about the recent anti-terror poster campaign from the Metropolitan Police in London.

The campaign has created considerable confusion, and not a little anger. But it’s important to remember that the law regarding filming and taking photographs in public spaces has not changed. There are no restrictions on taking photographs on public land and in public spaces in the UK.

However, the campaign highlights a shifting attitude towards photography in public spaces, and threatens to taint photographers everywhere. Of course public safety is a legitimate concern, but there’s nothing ‘odd’ or necessarily suspicious about taking photographs. And given the varying interpretations of ‘odd’ behavior different people will have, it’s difficult to see the campaign leading to much more than a slew of misguided reports, a lot of wasted police time, and increased harassment for innocent photographers.

Photographing in public places is a basic freedom. We need to monitor these sorts of developments very carefully, and when necessary speak out.

Manifesto

In-Public was set up in 2000 to provide a home for Street Photographers.

Our aim is to promote Street Photography and to continue to explore its possibilities, we are a non commercial collective. All the photographers featured here have been invited to show their work because they have the ability to see the unusual in the everyday and to capture the moment. The pictures remind us that, if we let it, over-familiarity can make us blind to what’s really going on in the world around us.
