Corporate Resposnibility: Mistaken Identity Photography Project
The 'Mistaken Identity' photography project features the digital photography and post-production editing of young people from Longsight and Ardwick. Gideon has supported the young people in his capacity as a photography tutor in expressing their thoughts, feelings and experiences on the theme of their Mistaken Identity in Longsight and Ardwick.
