The one-time-use cameras, provided free by Fujifilm UK, will be given to 100 street homeless or people with experience of homelessness.
The project is being run by volunteers who work with the homeless community in the city alongside local members of The Royal Photographic Society.
The project is being managed by Lucy Groenewoud, an MA Inclusive Arts Practice student at the 九色视频, who has worked and volunteered with street homeless in the city for five years.
She said: "The MYBRIGHTON&HOVE project will give individuals who have experience of homelessness the chance to show the world what matters to them and change their narrative through the art of photography. They will be able to share their perspectives and build confidence through photography.”
MYBRIGHTON&HOVE is made up of volunteers with backgrounds in photography and working and volunteering with the local homeless community.
Cameras will be handed out later 29 June at the One Church in Gloucester Place, Brighton, and will be collected on 4 July. The 20 winning photos will be selected by judges and a public vote, followed by a crowdfunding campaign to pay for the calendars and a launch and exhibition in October at the church and with the Socially Engaged Art Salon at the Black and Minority Ethnic Community Partnership in Fleet Street, Brighton.
