Ever since lockdown began, the creative industry has been one of the most affected, with many photographers and videographers having had the majority of their work cancelled or postponed. In response to these unprecedented circumstances, a number of UK photographic associations and trade bodies have for the first time in history come together.

Their goal is to highlight to the British government that the photographic industry, and the businesses it supports, has missed out on vital government funding. The Coalition of Photographers is doing this in the hopes that the government will look into providing better support.
