Writer and photographer Johnny Pitts explores Afropean identity through photography, travel and lived experience. Moving across European cities, Pitts documents Black European life with depth and sensitivity, challenging who is seen and heard.

Photography becomes an act of witnessing. A way to record everyday realities, preserve cultural memory and push back against erasure. Through portraits, streetscapes and personal encounters, this work reframes Europe through an Afropean lens.
