I'm really happy to be a part of this upcoming and timely book by Paul Sng that needs your support.
Invisible Britain: Portraits of the Disenfranchised is a forthcoming ethnographic photography book that will feature the stories and portraits of misrepresented and marginalised citizens in post-Brexit Britain. In cities, towns and rural areas across Britain, 40 diverse individuals reveal their stories of hope and hopelessness among the ruins of a society in which they are neglected, ignored or disenfranchised by the state
The idea for the book came from a feature documentary that editor Paul Sng co-directed in 2015. Sleaford Mods – Invisible Britain followed the Nottingham band Sleaford Mods on a tour of the UK in the run-up to the 2015 General Election, visiting the neglected, broken down and boarded up parts of the country that many would prefer to ignore. In each location the filmmakers met with members of the local community and asked them how austerity, de-industrialsation, and unemployment had impacted on the area and what they were doing to campaign against unpopular government policies.

The book will be the first step towards creating a platform to enable people who have been marginalised, misrepresented or ignored by mainstream media to tell their stories with their own voices, across a range of media and narrative forms. In 2018 we will be aiming to secure funding to set up Invisible Britain as a social enterprise that will work with individuals and communities to support a diverse range of creative projects.
