Every summer bank holiday, London engulfs itself into a vibrant and diverse celebration that's a main staple of the capital's calendar! The city transforms into a kaleidoscope of colors, music, and culture, creating an electrifying atmosphere reminiscent of Rio De Janeiro or Port of Spain. Notting Hill proudly hosts the second biggest street carnival globally, a spectacle that demands your presence!

Indulge yourself into the spirit of the celebrations via this photo gallery I created. Here you can get psyched up for this year's rhythmic beats of Latin and reggae music, that pulsate the streets with an infectious party spirit that will leave you exhilarated. From the mesmerizing costumes to the grand feathers adorning the performers, each element contributes to the enchantment of this remarkable event.

Capturing Notting Hill photos as a moment in history

Photographing Notting Hill Carnival is a breeze because people are more than willing to be photographed. The vibrant colors they wear serve a purpose - to have a blast and stand out.

My goal was to immortalise a piece of history - a snapshot of the Big Smoke's culture in the 2020s, showcasing our identity to future generations and the joyous moments we shared. Beyond the negative headlines, Notting Hill Carnival exudes joy and positivity. It's a spectacular event that unites people from all corners of the city. The annual attendance speaks volumes - a guaranteed good time awaits.

The magic of fisheye lens portraits
