Stories about London, Culture & Creativity

This week we have Josh Cole a photographer and director living in London.

This is a jam packed story, Josh has had quiet a mad and hard working journey. I met him when I did Faking It on channel 4. I was the teacher and Josh was one of the judges at the end of the program who had to guess If the guy was a real graffiti artist or not. Josh was the only one to pick him out. We’ve known each other ever since. But as in all cases, I wanted to know the story, this is Josh’s and its inspiring. We get through loads in this conversation and Josh tells us about life in Lewes and reasons for leaving, taking up photography, getting involved with the UK Hip Hop scene, drugs, travelling and politics.

Harry Conway is a photographer, used to be a graffiti writer labelled The Million Pound Vandal by the UK press and is from Kensal Rise. He’s run through a couple cultures on his route to creativity. He’s a big lad, covered in tattoos, sports a vest in the summer months and could be intimidating if you saw him jump out on you on the Bakerloo line with his camera but when chatting to him it breaks down all perceptions and it was really cool chatting to him about his influences and experiences in his story about London, Culture and Creativity.
