A Cup Of Tea In Cheshire Street
The work below is based on a photograph I took in a cafe in Cheshire Street, East London in the 1980s. The subject was eating a plate of chips during the Sunday afternoon Brick Lane market. I would photograph the market regularly most Sundays and would often take a break for a cup of tea. The cafe was always full of interesting characters. In those day you could get a cup of tea for 20p.

Spitalfields Rooftops
This image is based on a photograph I took on the roof of some flats in Hanbury Street near to Brick Lane in the early 1980s. Since then the view has changed considerably with the encroachment of City offices into the area.

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!
