PHIL MAXWELL

The subject of this piece is a market trader I photographed early in the morning on Vallance Road in East London around 12 years ago. The collage beneath his feet represents the urban environment in Whitechapel with a solitary tree as the sole representative of the natural world as he heads towards whitechapel market with his heavy load to extract a living during a long day.
