Last year, photographer VicMoy_ took to the vibrant streets of Notting Hill Carnival with her camera to document what she calls “a story of resilience and one of joy”.
In her second time documenting West London’s festivities, Vic spent time deep in cultural research before stepping out. Letting her work be informed by the the people around her, she delved deeper into the journey’s of elders in arriving to the UK, those who “gently shaped the waters of Black British history, leaving everlasting ripples across the UK’s cultural legacy and global history,” she says.
Vic’s research saturates her photography, as she focuses on the small moments. The viewer feels as though they are passing through, tailing her on this journey past feathers, flag capes, and dollar chains. Vic says: “I hoped to have captured even a small glimpse of the inner beauty of each person, each representing their island, identity, culture, and extraordinary spirit.”
