A few recent testimonials for Brick Lane Life Book “Many thanks, your wonderful book arrived this morning. It really is a stunning piece of work which I have hardly put down! Both the quality of the photography and your sympathy with your subjects shines through! This is one of the best photography books that I have ever seen or read.” A. R. Yorkshire “Thanks Dave, the book arrived and it contains a superb collection of portraits of really interesting people. It's a refreshing concept to take photographs with the knowledge and consent of the subjects and has produced a set of images that reveal their true character. You obviously have a talent for engaging with people and putting them at ease before taking the photograph and I look forward to your future projects.” J.P. Essex “The book arrived today and it's a real gem. The eclectic selection of people captured by Dave is fabulous and I enjoy the way in which he chose to present them. It's a book that makes you think who am I or more likely, who am I? I highly recommend it.” M.B Wirral “David. Many thanks for the book. I think you’ve done a really excellent job on it, just the right balance between text and images. It looks good.” P.G. Surrey “You should be very pleased, it’s a testament to your time and patience on the Lane and your ability to engage with people. I think that’s a rare quality with photographers.” T.S. London "Apologies for the delay, but I received your book a day or two ago, and it's excellent - such lovely portraits, truly inspirational." R.S. Surrey "David’s book is an excellent insight into the culturally diverse world of the Lane and inspiration for us all in street photography." G.P. Essex "The photographs are wonderful - I hope you continue to publish them." R.B. Herts "What a fantastic presentation of the people of Brick Lane. The photos are all incredible, and I wish I had the talent and courage to take such pictures. The book itself is a work of art". P.W. Cambs "I particularly like the portrait of Abdel. It’s very settled and he is very relaxed. The whole book speaks the language of the area - I’m quite interested in the background to the characters - and I’m ambivalent about motives, social pressure, familial indoctrination and the existential angst which leads people to conform, wear the uniform and present a shield of messages and warnings. I think your book has much to say about that." A.M. Hants "Brick Lane Life is beautifully put together – congratulations on a great piece of work." K.F. Surrey Your lovely book of portraits landed in my mailbox today. It is a collection full of authentic energy and compelling, memorable faces. Clearly you have just the right "touch" in establishing rapport and building connection. (Even the chap flipping you the bird is fully engaged and "present."). Many, many thanks for introducing me to the characters on Brick Lane. I'm so looking forward to attending your talk in a couple of weeks. R.K. USA I received your photography book and it is wonderful! I'm so pleased, thank you. The photos are very powerful & it's great to have them compiled into physical form. It sure brings me back to Brick Lane and all its vibrancy, which I am very much missing. H.S. Kent |
