Marc Davenant

Marc Davenant is a working-class social documentary photographer who works with marginalised communities and uses photography to highlight social inequality. His Outsiders project on homelessness and substandard housing has had critical acclaim and has been turned into a book and a touring exhibition. Two-time winner of the Portrait of Britain competition, his work has been exhibited across the UK, internationally and inside the Houses of Parliament. Davenant’s current project is called Rebellion! and is a celebration and exploration of peaceful protest as an essential part of British cultural identity in the face of draconian anti-protest legislation. An exhibition of the photos and stories from Rebellion! will open in Newcastle in 2026 and then be toured around the U.K.
