Georgina Cranston
Photographer
Location: London, United Kingdom
Contact details: Follow Georgina on twitterI am a British photographer who specialises in documenting social and women’s rights issues. For the past decade I’ve travelled the world on assignments for clients ranging from non-governmental organisations – such as UNICEF, Anti-Slavery International and Action Aid – to international media such as the Daily Telegraph, the Sunday Times Magazine and Reuters. I also work part-time for the pioneering digital and broadcast production company, duckrabbit.
My interest lies with the people at the heart of the issues I photograph. I also use documentary audio in my work, as I believe this multimedia approach allows me to better capture people’s stories. My aim is that the voices of those involved are heard by the people who most need to hear them: policymakers, the wider public or the communities themselves.
I have shown my work in more than a dozen exhibitions worldwide and it has been recognised by twelve industry awards. In November 2010, I held a solo exhibition in London on the issue of women working as human mules in Congo’s goldmines. Another exhibition in Canada showcased my work on the issue of rape in the Democratic Republic of Congo. I’ve also exhibited in New York, Geneva, Glasgow, Nairobi and Ireland.
I now live in London, having spent three years based in East Africa, working on commissions across the continent. I also teach photography and hold seminars on the subject.
I am working as an independent photographer on this project. Supported by Thomson Reuters, Elite and The KnowList. All of my work will be donated to St Mungo’s: http://www.mungos.org.
St Mungo’s is a leading provider of services for homeless people in London and the south of England, best known for its outreach work and hostels for rough sleepers. The charity has over 100 housing projects, including specialist hostels and supported housing. Specialist workers meet a variety of client needs, from helping with mental health problems and drug use to supporting women setting up in a new home.
St Mungo’s is at the start of a three-year women’s strategy to improve the help given to homeless women, recognising the need to address the emotional, psychological and relational factors of these women to enable them to achieve the personal change required for recovery.
