A free exhibition off London's Oxford Street features huge works by photographer Gideon Mendel.
The Fire/Flood exhibition can be found in Ramilies Street, Ramilies Place and Hill Place
One set, called Drowning World, features portraits documenting floods in countries like Nigeria and Pakistan, while the other, named Burning World, looks at the increase in the extremity of wildfires across the world. Speaking about the images, Mendel said the people included in each photo "have taken the time - in a situation of great distress - to engage the camera, looking out at us from their inundated homes and devastated surroundings".He added that his subjects "are not victims in this exchange", but rather "the camera records their dignity and resilience".
