“I took the photo on a boiling hot day on Brighton Beach.” Says Natalie Fisher, “The main subject is my good friend Rosa. She was telling stories about her life. I liked the light on the rust and the layers of different people sheltering together in the shade. I called the picture living in peace because in it there are gay people, Muslim people, able bodied and disabled all enjoying the beach together and that's what I love most about Brighton. We all peacefully coexist.” Natalie was born in Brighton and Hove at the Royal Sussex County Hospital. From the age of 16-19 she was in temporary accommodation, and then from 19 - 22 she was homeless. Natalie was given supported housing a few years back for her and her daughter which allowed her to open her own business running a market stall. She has just opened her own shop in Brighton and Hove. Being part of MYBRIGHTON & HOVE has inspired Natalie to continue photography: “I have really wanted to do more photography and taking part in this project has made me more interested”.
