Over the coming weeks, weโll be introducing the members of the Revoke Photo Collective. Alongside these features, weโll also be sharing news about our first upcoming project, including an opportunity for photographers interested in seeing their work published in print.
Next up Is @markjdavidson , an Australian street and documentary photographer known for raw, candid, atmospheric work and an unguarded approach to the street. His photography is concerned less with what people do than with how places and lives feel, capturing unease, warmth, fatigue, fleeting beauty, and the tension of everyday life.
Based in Melbourne, Davidson has built a reputation as one of the countryโs most distinctive contemporary street photographers. Working almost exclusively in black and white, Davidson strips scenes back to their emotional core. His images focus on the tension between public space and private emotion, capturing fleeting gestures, fractured interactions, and the quiet weight of everyday life.
โI think that there isnโt a photograph in the world that has any narrative ability. Any of them. They do not tell stories; they show you what something looks like. To a cameraโ - Garry Winogrand.
So who knows when a project is finished?

Revoke is an international photography collective focused on long-form humanistic photographic work. It exists for one reason: to push good photography forward. The collective is made up of street, documentary, and portrait photographers working independently while sharing a commitment to honest, uncompromising photography.
The collective includes @sureshnaganathan , @davij13 , @arguspaul , @ronin_de_goede , @markjdavidson , @lindazhengova , @david.cossini , @gavinbragdon and @garethbragdon . Each member develops and releases personal projects through Revoke while maintaining a distinct voice and full creative control.
Revoke functions as both a platform and a working collective, providing critique, accountability, and momentum for sustained photographic projects. The work spans street , documentary, portraiture, and personal narrative, often grounded in place, history and lived experience.
Beyond its members, Revoke organises exhibitions, publishes zines, and creates physical spaces for photography that values process, discussion and sustained attention.
Revoke is a refusal. It is rejecting the obvious frame and the easy narrative. It revokes the surface reading of the world and clean answers.
Vale Martin Parr (1952-2025)
Very sad news to wake up to this morning with the passing of Martin Parr.
He influenced generations of photographers and will leave an indelible mark on the genre.
He was very generous to speak with us on our @streetlife.podcast and @giant_evertonian and I were deeply grateful that he gave us his time.
In typical Martin Parr fashion, he actually joked that street photography was dead and we should go and do something else with our time.
Legend of the craft. RIP Martin.
Iโm an Featured exhibitor at Head On Photo Festival 2025.
