The City Projects is a international workshop project that was launched at the World Photography Festival in Brazil, February 2011 with the São Paulo Portrait Project. This was swiftly followed with the momentous Royal Wedding Portrait and Documentary Project at the World Photography Festival in London, April 2011.

Save the Children proudly presents, OUR LIVES:
An intimate glimpse into the lives of British children growing up in poverty

Award winning photographers Simon Roberts, Liz Hingley, Laura Pannack, Abbie Trayler-Smith and Carol Allen-Storey spent a year working with families around the UK to create an intimate and compelling photographic portrayal of child poverty in the UK today, a reality faced by a shocking 3.5 million children.  Every child has hopes and dreams, but many have to struggle against the odds to achieve them. Children in poverty often don’t have a voice but they have the right to be heard. Our Lives tells the story of some of these children, the barriers they face and the resilience they show.
No child should be born without a chance.

  As Concessionary tickets are only available on the door at Somerset House, I guess I'll join the queue.
  
  I just hope it isn't too long!
  
  It was a great event in 20102 and this looks even better!

  So how exactly do I get to test my photography against the best in the world apart from forking out money to look at an exhibition in London?
