Mara Bodis-Wollner, Sacha Lehrfreund and Heather McDonough are photographers and artists living and working in Hackney, London.
Working individually—but following each other’s work on Instagram—they eventually decided to meet and discuss their interests, approaches, and reasons for shooting at night in Hackney. Each of their styles crossed over, bound by different artistic parameters: Mara framed details on the street, visual expressions that could highlight a transient inner state; Sacha created rules that governed her approach, posting one picture a day… she focused on the drama of the trees illuminated at night; Heather is driven by involuntary memory and is drawn to visual juxtapositions that evoke them, making lyrical associations using light and colour.
The relationship to each other's work and the local neighbourhood initiated a playful conversation and led to an artistic collaboration.
