Hi - I’m Stephen Hewett, a Cambridge-based photographer who has lived just off Mill Road since 2006.

This project is an attempt to capture the heart and soul of Mill Road and its surrounding streets. If it’s in Petersfield or Romsey, I’ll photograph it, but ultimately any area is about the people who live and work there, so I’m always actively looking for people to photograph for the project.

I’m particularly interested in photographing people in or outside their homes and businesses, to produce an artistic and historical record of what the area looks like, inside and out, in the mid- 2020s, and to try and give a flavour of what makes this area so special.

If you live or work in the area and you’re interested in getting involved, get in touch using the Contact form. I’m available for a portrait session 7 days a week, I’ll come to you, and every participant will get a free  A4 print of their favourite image from the shoot, in exchange for letting me use their portrait on this website and as part of the final project exhibition.

Also do reach out if you’d like to just chat about the project or have an idea of something I could shoot.

Work from the project will be exhibited at The Edge cafe on Mill Road throughout April 2025.
