Our Creative Connection Podcast Episode 3: Exploring 'Socially Engaged Photography' with Shy Burhan

In the latest episode of the Our Creative Connection Podcast, we embark on a journey into the world of 'Socially Engaged Photography.'

Join me as I chat to the incredibly talented, socially conscious photographer and storyteller, Shy Burhan.

This conversation is a celebration of creativity, well-being, community, and, of course, photography. I'm truly grateful to Shy for sharing her story with me.

Shy takes us on a tour of her diverse and impactful body of work. Her lens has tackled a wide range of topics, each of them with a unique and important message.

From addressing issues like food wastage and food poverty to promoting positive body representation and capturing the survival stories of domestic abuse victims, Shy's photography is a powerful force for change. She's also delved into the regeneration of city centres, offered a glimpse into the transition to the big '40,' and celebrated the inspiring women of colour working in industries where they are underrepresented.

Shy's contributions go beyond the click of her camera. She's a strong advocate for inclusivity and empowerment. Shy has led participatory photography workshops with individuals seeking sanctuary and young people from inner city areas, particularly in her home city of Bradford. Her passion for giving agency to underrepresented groups shines through as she encourages them to tell their own visual narratives.
