Join us in a discussion with London based photographer, writer and film maker Stephen Leslie. Stephen's first solo book, SPARKS was published by Unbound and Penguin. Lensculture described the book as “funny, deep, at times disturbing, at other times profoundly hopeful. But every image gets remade in ways that hold a bit of genius". The sequel MOSTLY FALSE REPORTS will be published later in 2023. He holds an impressive twenty five years experience as a street photographer both in the UK and on extensive travels abroad.
