| Gallery label | Mayne is known for his reportage photographs of urban Britain, which are often close-up and graphic in style. He discovered Southam Street in west London in 1956 when he moved nearby. Mayne was impressed by the local people and returned to photograph the area many times over the next five years. As well as documenting the life of a community, the images address questions about post-war architecture and town planning. (19/03/2012) |
