About

Davenant

Marc Davenant is a 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. Outsiders has recorded over 120,000 visitors since the tour began in October 2023.

Two-time winner of the Portrait of Britain competition, his work has been exhibited across the UK, internationally and inside the Houses of Parliament. A book of the photographs and stories from his Outsiders project on homelessness and substandard housing is now available from Bluecoat Press https://bluecoatpress.co.uk

Davenant’s next project is called Rebellion! and is a celebration and exploration of peaceful protest as an essential part of our cultural identity. A touring exhibition of the photos and stories from Rebellion! will open in Newcastle in 2026.
