I was around 13 years old when my friend got a SLR camera for Christmas and we spent hours on end taking photos together, and it was this that inspired me to become more involved in photography.

My favorite shoot was in a Cypriot monastery a few years ago, it was incredibly beautiful and isolated with only a few other visitors there at the same time. I remember it so vividly as the majority of the other visitors walked past the outstanding architecture with no more than a appreciative glance however by looking through my lens I was able to admire and capture the magnificent symmetry of the tunnel walkways which were being drenched my shafts of sunlight as well as the ancient environment.

For example I recently tried to document a major scene of deforestation which occurred very close to me however the photos disappointed as I had to fight against fading natural light and restricted access.

The spontaneous nature of my style drives me to work with very little equipment so I only carry my Nikon D40X. But now, I like to direct the frame myself. Rather than capturing real moments, I'm working on portraiture and editorial work, which has given my work a whole new lease of life and feels like I'm starting all over again. From everything we've learned so far, the way photography changes how you feel varies hugely from person to person.

For Tauhidah Abdulbasir , a native New Yorker, it provided the clear focus she needed in her life. She also likes the idea her photography prompts a change in her subjects too. Maybe someone might want to change how they wear a garment or play around with the lighting. I like to think the change usually happens organically and when you least expect it to. She believes it has the power to change the world, too. It's a chronological look at how photography has evolved in the world of photojournalism and documentary photography.

Without documentation through photographs, we'd never be able to understand or grasp narratives outside of our own. Tahiti's first experiences as an artist began at a very young age, "being surrounded by many of the things people flock to this unapologetic city for," she recalls.

The people, the communities, and the daily lives of New Yorkers became my backdrop. What I love about what I am using now is that my primary camera is older than I am, and yet it remains a workhorse for many young photographers now.

It shows how vital circularity is to both digital and film photography. It's also allowed me to slow things down and really think about all the elements that make creating images unique. Consequently, she feels her work has improved in strides. It was difficult to have a voice through my work while ultimately not knowing who I was as a person.
