Mission Statement
Photofusion is a hub for photography that has been based in the heart of Brixton since 1991. We are a non-profit resource helping people of all types express themselves through photography, with a community outreach programme that helps hundreds of young people in Brixton every year. Photofusion provides a range of services, which help people on this journey: • Film developing and printing in one of London's last remaining public darkrooms. • Specialist digital facilities. • Training courses on a wide range of photographic skills from obscure to indispensable. An important part of Photofusion's work is its community outreach programme. Young people who face challenges can find great value in learning more about photography and creating their own images. Over the years, Photofusion has helped many people in Lambeth and beyond. Each year we work with 60 young offenders, and run free summer schools for children in young people in our borough. Although this aspect of our work is helped by charitable grants, it still depends on the existence of Photofusion as an organisation.
About This Cause
Photofusion is a place for people from every walk of life to express themselves through photography. We welcome. We are happy to have all sorts of people walk through our doors in Brixton. People of all income levels, origins, cultures, and levels of photography knowledge come to Photofusion. We are enthusiasts, not judges. We know. The people who work at Photofusion really know their stuff, from the most obscure historic process to the lastest digital techniques. You won't find such a depth of practical photography knowledge anywhere else in London. We support. We don't keep our knowledge to ourselves. Nothing gives us greater pleasure than sharing it with other people and helping them develop in their own unique way. Photography poses many questions, and we'll always try to answer them as best we can. We converse. We do, in fact, like to talk. Photofusion is a place of conversation. About work, about techniques, about photography, about creativity, about Brixton and beauty and food and football. Anything is up for discussion. We make. We are totally hands-on. Whatever aspect of photography we are involved with, we are utterly practical. We understand theory, but we respect craft. We don't tell anyone what to make, we just help them make it as best they can. We provide. We have lots of kit. We have expensive kit, we have everyday kit, we have kit so obscure we're almost forgotten what it's for. And we want it to be used. We provoke. We love the way photography can raise issues and ask searching questions. We show things that demonstrate the power of photography and people who create it - whether or not they make comfortable viewing. We protect. Some of the people who come through our doors are vulnerable. They may face difficult circumstances outside the walls of Photofusion. But when they're inside we look after them and we celebrate the power of photography to help them find things inside themselves they never knew where there. We are proud. Many famous images have been made at Photofusion. Many famous photographers have worked here. And many things have been achieved that started from very small beginnings. Which makes us proud. Photofusion. Anyone can be a photographer.
