Welcome to The North London Adoption Consortium.

NLCA joined forces with leading children's charity Barnardo's and a host of well known faces for a special exhibition to help find permanent homes for children awaiting adoption.

Well known figures such as Mario Testino, Bruce Oldfield, Terry O'Neil, Andrew Lincoln, Gail Porter, Sam Taylor-Wood, Laura Bailey and Claudia Winkleman, all offered to become guest photographers for the day to get a snapshot of their lives.

Cllr John Bryant, Camden Council's Executive Member for Children, said: "This was a great experience for the children who really enjoyed meeting the celebrities and being photographed. Often these children have had a difficult start in life and would benefit enormously from the stability of growing up in a loving family setting."

The exhibition ran at the Getty Images Gallery from April 25 until May 3 2008.
