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

April 19, 2021

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!
