David Hoffman’s bold, humane photography records a lost era, speaking vividly to our own times. Living in Whitechapel through the seventies and eighties, David documented homelessness, racism and the rise of protest in startlingly intimate and compassionate pictures to compose a vital photographic testimony of resilience.
David Hoffman is Britain’s leading photographer of protest.“Documenting the reality of injustice, frequent state oppression and the all too often tragic consequences, my work has supported legal challenges, brought racist perpetrators to justice, and most importantly, reached wide audiences through mass media publication for more than 40 years.” - David Hoffman
