About

‘Wayward Photo’ is a photojournalist and documentary photographer specialising in community-based projects that raise awareness of issues in mental health, government policy, and social welfare.

Their work is defined by a commitment to contributor agency, the protection of anonymity, and rigorous research into the mechanics of subjection. Previous projects have explored the overlooked dimensions of mental health, the aggressions of the UK immigration system, and the failures of London’s suicide prevention policies.

Where possible, Wayward prioritises working directly with affected communities, offering extensive agency and anonymity within their contributions. They believe in creating the opportunity for systematic criticism while not jeopardising the safety or welfare of those affected. In an age where information has become more weaponised, equal access and opportunity to learn are imperative to building a better world for everyone.
