New photography book depicts vibrant East London and its inhabitants
East London Photo Stories is a new compilation book published by Hoxton Mini Press which features photography from a series of 13 books dedicated to the vibrant part of London.
The book is divided into 14 chapters, in which photographers capture different aspects of East London life, from its famous waterways, to the colourful Columbia Flower market, and 1980s Dalston. There's also a map of the areas where the projects are featured.
In the first chapter, Martin Usborne shares photos of Joseph Markovitch, an old man he met in Hoxton in 2007. He later turned the story of their friendship into a book, which led him to start Hoxton Mini Press with his wife, Ann.
In chapter four, Madeleine Waller captures East London swimmers at London Fields Lido.
