A double-sided concertina book, shot through the windows of London’s double decker buses. The essence of Last Stop is that you might take the same route everyday but what you see, the ebb and flow on the street takes on a random nature, like a series of fleeting mini soap operas. The concertina book format reflects and mimics the flow of a bus journey, but more importantly it gives the viewer the opportunity to create their own journeys by spreading the book out and combining different images together. This moves the book away from an author-led linear narrative to one of multiple possibilities.

The idea was inspired by photos I took of shop-keepers in Varanasi, India years ago. I did more of that on a subsequent trip to Old Delhi under the direction of Martin Parr and when I returned to London, started to photograph shopkeepers closer to my home. I love seeing a person in their environment, surrounded by the things they sell or make. In the case of many independent stores these things represent their passion and their livelihood. Everything they have was wrapped up in this one little shop. In 2020 I discovered Camden Passage, a little street close to my home filled with independent shops and market traders. Each one of them has a story to tell. From there it wasn’t long before I turned my camera to the shoppers, the coffee drinks and the passersby. After four years in the making, this project has come to represent not only this street but in many ways every High Street and community. It’s about the diverse people who shop, eat and drink on our High Streets and the local business owners who offer not just products but a sense of belonging, safeguarding the essence of community. Streets like this matter. They are the beating heart of local communities where people come together to shop, relax, catch up and support one another. They should be treasured, nurtured and supported by us and when necessary by the government. If we lose them to developers and online shopping giants we’ll lose a vital pillar of community life.

Some Fading Thing is a photographic tribute to Soho's famous New Evaristo Club (aka Trisha's). Once described by the late great Antony Bourdain as the "Dean Martin of drinking establishments", Trisha's - named in honour of its Italian matriarch Trisha Bergonzi - has been serving the great and the good from a basement bar in Greek Street since 1942. Always in Italian hands, and in Trisha's, specifically, for close to three decades, the club is seen by many as one of the last surviving connections to 'Old Soho'. Photographers and long time Trisha's members Alex Eden-Smith and Matt Davey documented their joint visits to the New Evaristo over a 12 month period, capturing stolen moments of reckless merriment and portraits of the club's staff and eclectic clientele. Shot entirely on 35mm film, Some Fading Thing is intended as a raucous celebration of one of late night London's hidden gems.

EVERYDAY THINGS WHITE CITY GENERATIONS 88-97
Shelfmark - 616.LDN.PESO
EVERYDAY THINGS WHITE CITY GENERATIONS 88-97 is a photobook that attempts to answer two pivotal questions; what is the everyday and what our are our everyday things? This photobook is compromised by a series of photographs made with a familial group of young Black adults living in White City, Shepherd's Bush, West London. It also features archival records which reveal White City's past as a former imperial and colonial exhibitions grounds, and its more recent histories as an interwar utopian council estate. Throughout the photobook, annotative reflections exploring what it was like to grow up in and live the area, are shared by the familial group alongside their perceptions of White City’s historical and contemporary representations. Fundamentally this photobook also serves as means of paying homage West London situated notions of Black experiences and Black joy.

A photographic survey of publicly sited cannons and artillery in Greater London and all the locations that they would hit if fired. The hypothetical strike points of the guns have been calculated using ballistics information and the complementary pairs of photographs of cannon and target are printed on oposing pages. The simultaneous firing of all these guns is readable as a performance proposal, but one that is extremely unlikely to happen. The book contains an introduction, an index of technical information and an interview with the artist by Jon Wood. With support from Turner Contemporary Margate, Acme Studios and The Elephant Trust.

The set of images contained in this book are a loose documentation of minicab offices in London. These little offices are disappearing from the urban landscape, another victim of the relentless technological progress that defines our age. While they are often shabby and unkempt, they are also, at times, weird and wonderful. Bolted on to the sides of other buildings as an architectural after thought, plonked down in the middle of the pavement on a high street or tacked on to the end of a pre-existing wall, they are a part of the fabric of the city. For how long is anyone’s guess.
