​The Ever Young Photographer: Photographing Our Community on Film is a talk and workshop exploring how and what it means to photograph Black and African people, our community and through the lens of our guest film photographers.

​Inspired by the legacy and works of James Barnor and this year's Black History Month theme, Honouring our community, this session is for anyone who wants to develop or advance their photography practice in a relaxed, low-barrier space, or learn something new. No prior experience is needed, and no camera is required to attend.

​Doors open: 12:30 PM

​What to Expect

​Conversation and Q&A

​Join two guest film photographers, hosted by The Afroniche Society, for a conversation-led talk about their work, their approach to documenting community, and what it means to photograph us with care.

​A hands-on workshop with Paul Odulate of C.I.M.E Lab

A mini masterclass on film photography and capturing community, followed by a creative session with disposable cameras and Colorama backdrops, with Paul and our guest photographers close by to share their knowledge.

​Film photography is at the heart of the afternoon, but the real focus is community: a shared space for learning, conversation and connection.

​About C.I.M.E Lab

​At C.I.M.E Lab, we believe film photography should be accessible to everyone. We started the lab because we saw how expensive, exclusive, and intimidating shooting film had become, and we wanted to build something different. A place where people could process their film with confidence, ask questions without judgement, and feel part of a growing community of photographers.

​Founded in Camden, London by photographer and lab technician Akinyemi Paul Odulate, C.I.M.E Lab combines professional film processing with a commitment to education, creativity, and community. We specialise in developing ECN-2, C-41, black and white, and E-6 film, while offering high-quality scanning and support for photographers at every stage of their journey—from first-time film shooters to experienced professionals.

​About The Photography Foundation

They create pathways into photography careers and the wider creative industries by providing quality education, opportunity, and a supportive community for diverse audiences. Their work is driven by the belief that everyone deserves a fulfilling creative career, and that creativity thrives when barriers to opportunity are removed.
