What Makes Us Care photography exhibition

Stars from Skins, The Borgias, Glee and Waterloo Road have posed as rough sleepers for a new photography exhibition, which challenges the public not to ignore rising levels of street homelessness in the capital. Rough sleeping in London has increased a staggering 64 per cent in the last two years to more than 6,000, many under the age of 25.

'What Makes Us Care?’ is the debut exhibition by Skins actress and portrait photographer Kathryn Prescott, who noticed how readily people would approach her in the street after recognising her but would walk passed those clearly in need.

Through 20 powerful portraits of familiar faces, including former Skins co-star Kaya Scodelario (Effy Stonem), The Borgias lead François Arnaud (Cesare Borgia) and Glee actor Max Adler (Dave Karofsky) visitors are asked to re-consider their view of those experiencing homelessness.

Prints from 'What Makes Us Care' are being sold in support of the youth homelessness charity Centrepoint and The Big Issue Foundation.
