About

Darren Lehane.
UK Street Photographer.


I'm a UK based candid street photographer drawn to the amusing, surreal and WTF moments. I work exclusively in colour and, since 2015, shoot with 28mm lens.

I was a winning finalist of PDN Street 2016 - as selected by Colin Westerbrook - and a finalist in the San Francisco Street Foto Festival in 2019.

I'm a Londoner but now live in Weston-super-Mare, in North Somerset. I also photograph weddings in a street photography aesthetic. Click here to see my wedding photography website.
