Selected photos from the three Coventry shoots will be included in the exhibition from 28 March.

The project had worked with hundreds of participants, recording major shifts in fashion, identity, diversity and how young people “use and shape their environments”, organisers said.

The photographer explained: “I love finding out about places by meeting the young people who live there.

“Coventry has a rich history of youth culture; constantly changing and evolving to reflect each generation.

“I’m here to find out how this city expresses itself, through the playful language of 2026 style.”

Director of culture at CV Life, which operates the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum, Marguerite Nugent said the initiative provided “a rare chance to have your portrait featured in a major gallery exhibition”.
