Un flâneur – a person who strolls

“My view of London is perhaps not the obvious. I love the stories that I find left behind as I walk through the city.” Paula Harrowing

Through her photography she has captured the fragments of a disappearing London still occasionally peeping through a gentrified canvas of property developments and corporate global branding. Many of her photographs provide a documentary of London’s under-culture, the filth, the humor and the eccentricities that weave together the complex layers of British Society.

A co-founder of an HIV Aids charity and once nightclub promoter Paula , has an extraordinary ability to seek out imagined stories through the lens of her camera and iPhone.

“The slaughter of the public cigarette ashtrays spewing their contents onto the pavements , street art , the impact of gentrification together with the fading glory of a city those ghosts still inhabit the dark alley are beautifully combined with the still vibrant and extraordinarily colorful characters of a London rapidly disappearing.
