In this episode, I chat with KYEL 925 who is a photographer and the founder of No.1 Network. He embraces the underground, the unknown, and the unconventional. This ability combined with his lived experience is what makes him and NO.ONE NETWORK such a success.

I really enjoyed having Kyel around for a tea and a chat about his journey. He has some crazy things coming up and I really look forward to seeing No.1 expand and develop in the future!

About KYEL 925:
KYEL 925’s is a photographer who's work focuses on the art of documentation and journalism, often delivering a unique perspective and love for underground communities. His photography has a life-style approach, often taken through a 35mm film camera he can fit in his pocket, bum bag or hang around his neck.

Through this process, Golly has travelled and actively found artists, youth culture and unique characters that are often under-exposed or misunderstood. His documentation has covered a large network of subjects from general street culture on his travels (overseas and East Australia), too teenage exploration and curiosity for the unknown.

His 35mm Photography Zine releases currently include: ‘Golly Elyk’ (2012) ‘Japan’ (2014) & ‘Them.Dam.Vandals’ (2015) ‘Melbourne’ (2015). In 2017, Kyle released a 4-year photo book named ‘Not Your Ordinary’ covering digital work from 2012-2015. Now his work focuses on sharing the stories and lives of local artists in Brisbane through a collective he established in 2018 called ‘No.One Network’.

About NO.ONE NETWORK:
Established in 2018, NO.ONE NETWORK was formed through a network of creatives being documented from inner-city Brisbane. From street artists and graffiti, to rappers and fashion designers, to beat makers and DJ’s, to guerrilla photographers and everything in-between. Through our work and community, No.1 Network aims to form an ultimate urban nexus of artists amongst Brisbane’s ‘youth culture’ & provide support for the local community. Through a collaboration we would aim to shine light on the company via local artists who have lived and breathed Brisbane’s culture.
