Ten photographers are putting on an exhibition ‘with a twist’ at a Borough-based pub where they have to shoot, edit, print and exhibit all the photos in one day.
It is all in aid of raising funds for Ukraine’s humanitarian effort. On February 24, the ten London-based photographers will shoot, edit, print and exhibit photos capturing the essence of London in one day – exactly one year on from the beginning of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The exhibition, entitled All in a Day’s Work, will take place at the Two Bridges pub in Borough.

Leading the project is Steve Mussell, a photographer and owner of NiceSmile Ltd. He is deeply invested in supporting the Ukraine humanitarian effort, as his wife, Asya Mussell is Ukrainian and has helped countless Ukrainian refugees since the war started.
In the past year, the couple has offered translation support, advice and guidance as they navigate the complexities of settling and building their lives again in a new country. He said: “Being married to a Ukranian woman has drawn us both into the lives of many refugees fleeing their war-torn homeland. My wife has pretty much quit her job to deal with the paperwork involved in their settlement.
“It’s crazy to think I was (in Ukraine) last January. Such a lot has changed in one year,” he added.
The tickets are free but can be booked here.
Visitors can also bid on the photos at the exhibition or via the Bidbeacon site here.
People can donate directly to the cause via the organiser’s GoFundMe page.
Steve Mussell hand-picked the ten photographers taking part, saying: “I have managed to bring together what I consider to be the crème de la crème of London photographers right now. I’m not saying there aren’t equally good people out there, but I haven’t come across them yet.”
The exhibition will take place at the Two Bridges pub on 186 Tooley St, SE1 2TZ from 7 pm – 10 pm.
