Picture gallery Chalcot's eyes


Camden's Chalcot school caters for the needs of young students aged 11-16, who have a variety of emotional, social and behavioural difficulties. In March 2003, a number of the pupils came together with reportage photographer Robert Goldstein as part of a vocational training programme. Most of the photos here were taken with a £15 auto-focus camera or an auto-focus Nikon.

The project was designed to get pupils to visit areas of London they were unfamiliar with, and photograph things with a fresh perspective.

The photos here are part of an exhibition, Chalcot's Eyes, which will take place at Gallery 27, 27 Cork Street, London W1, from August 30 - September 4.
