The magazine of the photo-essay
October 2020 back issue
In Your Face
“A free, really high quality photo-essay magazine. Fabulous!”
Stephen Fry. British actor, writer and film maker
Photographer Paul Trevor has been documenting the East End for over 25 years.
This new book of black-and-white close-ups, made spontaneously on the streets of
east London, capture Britain’s perennial social divide. They contrast the people in
The City – London’s money market – with those in the nearby street market of Brick
Lane. Paul Trevor shot these images between 1977 and 1992 – but mostly in the
80s, provoked by Thatcherism and a polarised debate on market forces vs
community values. The imagery is as fresh and relevant today as it was then.
‘This series is a new twist on the street photo, but totally unlike anything I have seen
before or since.’
– Martin Parr
