Brick Lane Portraits
The collage below is made from two pages torn from my book ‘Brick Lane’. During the lockdown I was self isolating and unable to indulge my passion for street photography. I found myself digging into my archive, revisiting images and experimenting with collage. I’ve been collaging since the 1970s but lately it’s become a major feature of my practice. I remember getting annoyed with picture editors when they cropped my photographs back in the 1980s. Now I’m tearing images up, painting over them and altering them in many different ways. It’s been quite a journey!
