Exhibit Abstract

A father and his child stare at their new SunTransfer light in a slum near the Thika road in Nairobi, Kenya. I wanted to capture the benefits of SunTransfer's solar charged lights and how they were benefiting the many families in the community.

These photographs are part of a larger series that make up a book on social enterprise in Kenya. The aim is to assess and disseminate the influence of social entrepreneurship and governance in Kenya, accomplished through interviews and photography. While in Kenya for August and September 2012, I visited four Social Entrepreneurs. I wanted to document them showing an understanding of the importance of their efforts, and their consciousness to succeed not only for their clients but for themselves. By uniquely applying their skills they are able to develop a product or process that is ethical and profitable. Once the "rippling effect" takes hold, the information spreads throughout communities, and thus the organisation is able to flourish. Documentation of this is key, it creates proof for some Social Entrepreneurs, and helps to secure funding.

Flynn Warren grew up in Kenya, Angola and UK. This gives him a unique advantage understanding the cultures of other countries. It has also created a drive in him to show the world what he has seen, he achieves this through photography. The work is mainly documentary and portraiture, devising colour palettes to enhance the creative process. Shooting on a variety of camera’s, digital and film. His complex images, encompass multiple visual layers that enhance small and important details.

Graduating from the University of the Arts London, in summer 2012, he has photographed for NGO: Population Council on occasion. But mainly his time has been spent creating a book on Social Enterprise along side the Gobee Group, a communications and media company. He currently resides in New York while the book is finalized. The photographs exhibit a richness of palette, and a wealth of narrative.
