Market Trader In Bordeaux

January 19, 2026

I made this from a photograph I took of a market trader in the historic Saint Michel district, in Bordeaux in 2025. The market is a remarkable place that reminded me of the old Brick Lane market in London’s East End as it was thirty years ago. I love her face which reveals the hard working stoicism of a market trader who will be out working in all weathers.
