Our mission to fill the streets with colour
After walking our pram around Brixton with our newborn daughter, we started photographing our favourite local spots in south London, creating a record of this magical and sleep-deprived time.
Colour where you live and love
Wanting to share these memories with our 5-year-old son, we suddenly had an idea: what if he could colour in the pictures? We gave the finished product to our boy, with a new pack of colouring pencils. He loved it. Colour Your Streets was born.
The local colouring book
What started as a love letter to our local area, is now growing; allowing more people to colour in where they live and love. Let’s fill our streets with colour.
