Photographing Faith in Suburbia

This article reflects on the experience and outcome of a collaboration between a photographer, a geographer and six senior citizens from six different faith communities in West London. In 2012 this group collaborated to produce an exhibition ‘Faith in Suburbia: a shared photographic journey’ which was exhibited at a local history museum, at University College London and at the participating places of worship. Drawing on the photographic approach developed by Liz Hingley for her work ‘Under gods: stories for Soho Road’, the participants sought to capture the everyday life and meaning of each other’s places of worship.
