I'm pleased to be featured in a brand new hardback book publication 'Women Street Photographers' in celebration of 100 international, contemporary professional and amateur woman photographers.

"...Curated by the visual connections between pictures, the images are variously joyful, intriguing and unexpected, offering a kaleidoscopic view of what happens when women across the world are behind the camera"



This is an amazing collection of street photographs, some of which I have never seen before so genuinely thrilled at the high quality of images to muse over in this medium sized coffee-table, hardback book.



Thanks to curator & editor Gulnara Samoilova for putting this together. The book is out this week by Prestel Publishing and is available to order worldwide, from all good bookshops & online via Amazon:

Pedley Street / Fleet Street Hill

I've always found this gritty urban location (just off Brick Lane), in Bethnal Green/Shoreditch, London interesting. One of the reasons is that each time you visit you more or less get a new photo because the street art and graffiti changes so often! Also, depending on the time of day, the light and shadow changes the image and its fun to experiment with different perspectives under this quiet, cobbled railway arch.

This arch way has a notorious East End history going back over a century (some pretty grim!), but in a way that is why many areas of East London have so much character. I wouldn't be surprised if Jack The Ripper frequented this underpass!

1st photo - 1968 (unknown), 2nd photo - 1987 (unknown), last photo is mine taken in 2017.







Last time I visited area in 2019 during a photo tour, the footbridge and the tunnel arch were boarded up and unaccessible to the public, due to local area clean up/improvements with a new block of flats going up nearby. Any 'clean up' won't last very long, graffiti wise!
