Protest Work

‘Every Corner of Leeds’

Since 2023, Troy Walker has been documenting protest movements in Leeds and across the United Kingdom. His work primarily focuses on pro-Palestine demonstrations and clashes between anti-fascist protesters and police. Troy sees his camera not just as a way to document moments of history, but as a tool for his own activism, and often blurs the lines between photojournalism and participatory documentary.
