Image description: black and white portrait of a child in a buggy. The child has light skin and light mid length hair, and is wearing a frilly white top. She is strapped into the buggy with dark straps, and there are plastic bags slung over both handles. The child leans slightly forward and looks directly at the camera with a grumpy expression and her brow furrowed. She is holding a plastic cup of drink between her hands in her lap. To the right, a woman with light skin and short light hair wears a white jumper patterned with lightning bolts, squares, and circles, grey trousers, and open sandals. She has a black handbag on her right shoulder, and is turned to the left, holding the buggy's handle in her right hand. Next to her, the back of a person in a light coloured dress is partially visible. There is a string of bunting across the top of the picture, and people and buggies walking in the background. The photograph is outside, on an open space in front of a building.

Image description: black and white portrait of two adults and two children standing behind a stall outside in front of a building. The stall is made up of three tables with empty plates, bottles, plates of cakes, a plant, a white plastic tub, a box of chocolates, and piles of magazines and newspapers on drug adddiction on them. On the left hand side of the picture, a woman with dark skin and short dark hair gets ready to blow a bubble, looking down at the bubble stick and bottle of solution she is holding. She wears a white jumper, a chunky necklace, bracelets, and light coloured jeans. Next to her, a man with light skin and short dark hair looks directly at the camera and smiles broadly. He is wearing a white shirt, thin black braces, and black trousers, and inclines his body to the left, leaning in to the woman, who also leans in to him. Their heads are touching. He is holding a flat white dish in his right hand and cleaning it with a cloth in his left. In front of him stands a child; they have medium light skin, and mid length dark hair. They are wearing a striped sailor suit style top and staring to the bottom left of the image. Their right hand is resting on their chin in a fist. To the right, another child stands behind the piles of magazines. They have medium light skin, and mid length dark hair. They are wearing a light coloured T shirt, and they are holding a light coloured balloon upright in their right hand. Their left hand is bent 90 degrees at the elbow in front of them, mirroring the right. They are looking towards to the right hand side of the image, and their face is creased in a thoughtful expression. Behind the group, an A3 flip chart leans against a wire fence. Posters displayed upon it offer help with drug addiction, as well as the chance to win a camera and a care bear.
Image Description: black and white portrait of a woman painting a child's face in front of a set of dark railings. The woman on the left of the image has light skin and short dark hair, and looks up towards the top right corner. She is talking to someone offscreen whilst she paints the face of a child sitting in front of her. She is wearing a white T shirt, with a light coloured wrist watch on her right hand.

Their eyes are closed, and they are wearing a white top with a dark pattern on the shoulder. They have dark hair and light skin. On the right of the image, the woman is reflected in a mirror leaning against the railings.
