WHO’S MY NEIGHBOUR?
Misha Markina is a digital journalist from Cambridge with an
interest in commercial, political and humanitarian journalism.
During his time at LBU, Misha has developed skills in digital
design and marketing and he has worked on a number of
short films and music videos taking on the role as director.
He has also photographed for the charity ‘Care4calais’ and at
Black Lives Matter events.
​Misha’s portrait series, ’Who’s my neighbour?’, explores the
different personalities along the street where he lived
during the UK lockdown. The project encouraged him to
make connections with his neighbours and listen to their
stories. He states: “The number of different characters I
encountered was astonishing, from the wonderful quirky
Jane who’s been delivering my mail for years, to the
interesting wise old ‘Pops’ who always has an insane story to
tell about the good old days.”
