In Your Face

Hyper-close-ups of Londoners in the 80s which together show the class divide between the City and the East End.
'A new twist on the street photo... totally
unlike anything I've ever seen before.'
- Martin Parr
British photographer Paul Trevor has been documenting the East End for over 25 years. This book of spontaneous in-your-face portraits contrasts the Brick Lane street market with London's money market, the City, just a mile away. Taken between 1977 and 1992, the photographer's motivation was partly political since many were shot during the reign of Thatcher's when she polarised debate on market forces versus community values.
Paul Trevor's work resides in the collections of the V&A and Museum of London.
