Be part of Northampton’s new photography project: The Human Tapestry

This ambitious personal endeavor aims to celebrate the people who make Northampton thrive—the everyday heroes who often go unnoticed.

The free photography sessions will take place at The Creative Place Hut on Northampton Market Square on the following dates:

Tuesday, December 12, 10am-1pm; Thursday, December 21, 10am to 4pm. No appointment is necessary—simply drop by to take part!

Khandie will be assisted by fellow Northampton photographer Stuart Vincent, adding his expertise to the project and further showcasing the town’s creative talent.

What is The Human Tapestry?

This project is a photographic celebration of Northampton’s community. Focusing on the road sweepers, shopkeepers, baristas, teachers, and everyone in between, The Human Tapestry seeks to capture the true essence of the town through a series of striking portraits.

“This project isn’t about the local government officials or public figures. It’s about the people—the unsung heroes who make Northampton what it is,” says Khandie. “Through this series, I want to celebrate the human stories that often go untold.”
