In the noisy bustle of London’s West End, I have been looking for sanctuaries of quietness and contemplation. I found them in the back alleys and doorways of Chinatown.
At night, when the countless restaurants compete for tourists and theatregoers, throngs of visitors collide with Chinatown’s tight-knit ethnic community. By the time the restaurants open, some of the kitchen staff have already been working since early morning. Many of them are recent immigrants who speak little more than a few words of English. Some will have clocked more than 60 hours when the week is over.

Founded in Brixton 1995, Alabama 3 achieved success when the producers of hit TV series The Sopranos chose the track "Woke Up This Morning" for the show's opening credits.
I'm very honoured to be invited to give a talk about my work at the Richmond & Twickenham Photographic Society on Thursday, 9 June 2022.
I'll be speaking about 'Pause' and some of the other photobooks I've made and how they came about.
Looking forward to seeing you there. The talk starts at 8pm. Location: Upper Hall at Kew Community Centre, The Avenue, Kew, TW9 2AJ
