NICK DAVID / RIDLEY ROAD

East London wouldn’t be the same without Ridley Road Market. This Dalston staple has provided goods, big and small, for the local community since the 1880s. Nick David took his hand to capture the many different street characters this landmark has to offer.

Street photography is a good way to ground yourself as a photographer - it’s like going back to basics.

I admire anyone who shoots on the street as it can be quite challenging especially as not everyone wants to be photographed which I can appreciate.

However there’s always something interesting going on - would love to expand the idea further if I ever get round to it!
