Author Description

The third in the East London Photo Stories series by Hoxton Mini Press. Each title in this series will be the same size and numbered, forming a collectable set. This is a photo documentary project that looks at the changing face of East London. Hackney, though crime-ridden, poor and dilapidated, is also now London's trendiest neighbourhood, and was home to the 2012 Olympics. Zed Nelson, a renowned photojournalist who both resides and grew up in the area, looks at some of the bizarre, often painful, contradictions caused by this rapid gentrification.
