Read MoreThe Charity Shop Camera Story
Most of these photos were shot with cameras and lenses I've found in charity shops.
I started this project with a simple question: what if I prioritized charity shop gear? Turns out, the answer is pretty good photography. From Fujifilm X-series digital cameras to vintage film equipment, charity shops are full of hidden photographic treasures.
This isn't just about being thrifty—it's about proving that vision matters more than gear. When most of your kit costs less than a decent lens, you stop making excuses and start shooting. These images show Hampshire and the South Coast the way I see them: raw, honest, and beautiful.
