Gangs and Crime
Leaving their mark makes people feel intimidated.
Being in a gang makes people have a keen eye on material things e.g. nice cars, and they achieve this illegally.
In Camden they use bullets as belts, but in Peckham we use them to kill.
Leaving their mark makes people feel intimidated.
Being Heard
Looking forward towards a better future should be a given right.
Can't keep me quiet for long
Gangsters without a voice - they have their own stories.

Substance Abuse
I'm standing alone with this item to keep me from going insane.
There are a lot of children who suffer because their parents can’t control their urges.
The night is cold. I should be sleeping.

Mental Health
Living with depression means I never know what mood I’m going to be in.
You’ve broken me too many times. I can't take any more.
Don't be scared to ask what's on his mind

Aspirations
Dreams are at the shallow end, sometimes you just don't see it.
Bubbles are pretty, they have the colour of the rainbow and they are free.
We all take different paths but which way will we go?
Dreams are at the shallow end, sometimes you just don't see it.
Private Space
Wise words. Strong love with age.
Love can make people happy and feel like they are on top of the world. Love can also make them feel like the floor is swallowing them down.
Wise words. Strong love with age.
Messages to Peers
When two become one and things get tough just remember…
We don't have nine lives we only have one so make the best out of it.
Choose the right path

Public Perception of Youth
If they believe in themselves, young people from poor backgrounds can achieve more.

"Without judgement, good can prosper" human right is a right to express myself in ways that feel natural to me without fear of judgement or ridicule The right side of my photograph expresses how people often tell me they see me. When someone is judged by their appearance or opinions it stifles the real person often crushing creativity and confidence. I believe we all have something to offer and should celebrate the differences between us.
I staged this photo with a British-Pakistani woman to highlight the fact that forced marriages happen a lot in the UK. Allah stated ‘O ye who believe! Ye are forbidden to inherit women against their will’ but religion is still used as a justification for forced marriages.

The Amnesty Young Human Rights Photographer Awards inspire young people to look creatively at the world around them and take a photograph that captures a human rights issue they are passionate about.
