Since then, I&#8217;ve spent the last seven years mostly living in the grittier neighbourhoods, which I love. London\u2019s multicultural society and the people surrounding me are so inspiring.&#8221; The city&#8217;s charm took hold immediately, serving\u00a0as a muse for the artist.\u00a0&#8220;<\/span><span class=\"s1\">There was just too much going on for my eyes to take in, so I bought a camera and decided to start capturing defining moments and characters.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">I hope to create an intimate experience for the viewer, producing images that show different perceptions of cultures and lifestyles, always trying to keep my photos honest and real.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36290\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/3-1.jpg\" alt=\"Stefy Pocket's Notting Hill Carnival Series\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In this photo series, Pocket\u00a0documents her favourite hairstyles, the wildest dance moves as well as some beautifully intimate moments from\u00a0last year&#8217;s\u00a0Notting Hill Carnival.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;Carnival is a special time of the year; it&#8217;s like Christmas for my eyes. The celebration of Britain&#8217;s West Indian culture brings together all the city&#8217;s communities in a massive\u00a0street party that promotes diversity.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">I always go to Carnival with my girl crew, we like\u00a0to get right in the middle of the crowd \u2013 dancing, drinking rum and smoking ganja with the locals \u2013 all while I shoot my favourite characters from the bunch.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;Carnival is like Christmas for my eyes&#8221; &#8211; Stefy Pocket<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">The photographer has been\u00a0<span class=\"s1\">documenting the highlight of London&#8217;s summer for the last three years, and this year will be her fourth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Scroll through the images below for a glimpse into last year&#8217;s festivities, and keep an eye out for the photographer&#8217;s Pocket Carnival Zine, which will\u00a0capture the truly tropical vibe on paper, out in the near future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36291\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/4.jpg\" alt=\"Stefy Pocket's Notting Hill Carnival Series\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" \/><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36292\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/5-1.jpg\" alt=\"Stefy Pocket's Notting Hill Carnival Series\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" \/><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36293\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/6-1.jpg\" alt=\"Stefy Pocket's Notting Hill Carnival Series\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" \/><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36294\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/7-1.jpg\" alt=\"Stefy Pocket's Notting Hill Carnival Series\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" \/><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/8-1.jpg\" alt=\"Stefy Pocket's Notting Hill Carnival Series\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" \/><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36297\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/9.jpg\" alt=\"Stefy Pocket's Notting Hill Carnival Series\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" \/><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36288\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Stefy Pocket's Notting Hill Carnival Series\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" \/><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>To see more of Stefy Pocket&#8217;s work check out her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stefypocket.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Website<\/a> and follow her on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/stefypocket\/\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a><\/strong> \n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>London-life through the lens of Stefy Pocket<\/p>","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":36298,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11856,139],"tags":[5518,1151,141,5519,154,5520,4932],"class_list":["post-36285","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sleek-art","category-art","tag-carnival","tag-documentary-photography","tag-london","tag-notting-hill-carnival","tag-photography","tag-stefy-pocket","tag-uk"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 -
