As we walk towards Ridley Road itself, the pair explain their project's community focus. It began a few years back, when Future Hackney – an artist-led collective – began to document the area, which just a decade ago was London's most deprived borough, and the sixth most deprived local authority in the UK. As well as encouraging street photographers to make work in the market, for many years a locus for the black, Turkish, Afghan and many other communities, they also set up temporary photo studios and darkrooms, working with young photographers and video-makers.
