The work in East Ended certainly won\u2019t be to everybody\u2019s taste. Credit: Dougie Wallace<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

You almost can\u2019t fail to find something of interest if you head off, camera in hand, to the vibrant areas of London\u2019s Brick Lane and Shoreditch. It\u2019s with good reason that it\u2019s become a favoured destination of street photographers, who come from all over to snap the plethora of characters you\u2019ll find on its graffiti-laden alleys and roads.<\/p>\n

Dougie Wallace, sometimes called \u2018Glasweegee\u2019, is known for his unashamedly bright, close-up, flash-filled frames that seek no permission, offer no apology and exposes the scenes in front of him with a warts-and-all approach for a heightened sense of reality that can sometimes be hard to take in.<\/p>\n\t\t

Pockets of resistance are captured by Wallace. Credit: Dougie Wallace<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

Chances are you\u2019ll either love it or you\u2019ll hate it \u2013 you might have already made your own mind up from the images displayed here. Personally, I found myself wanting to dislike the work for its brashness, but being increasingly drawn in as the book went on. Sensitive and subdued, this isn\u2019t, but nobody can accuse of it being ordinary or pedestrian.<\/p>\n

Throughout the book there\u2019s very little offered in the way of context. With no captions, you\u2019ll have to invent your own narrative as to exactly what each image portrays, while street signs appear in some to give you a geographical clue.<\/p>\n

Wallace has spent the past 20 years photographing East London, bearing witness to increasing gentrification in the area. Yet, within these pages, you\u2019ll still find evidence of little pockets of defiance \u2013 the cheeky protests, climate change resistance and the people who arrived long before the likes of Gucci turned up with their Instagram-friendly murals to attract the rich kids and hipsters.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"East\t\t\t

Bright, bold and brash are the hallmarks of this book. Credit: Dougie Wallace<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

At the end of the book you\u2019ll find an essay by Paul Lowe, which gives you some background into the history of the area. At the end of the piece, Lowe describes Wallace as \u2018our modern Hogarth\u2019. The 18th-century English painter and printmaker was well known for his satirical cartoons \u2013 which gives you an idea, perhaps, of Wallace\u2019s underlying intentions when he sets out to create his images.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t a book that is as easy to universally recommend as some that pass through the AP offices, but it\u2019s certainly one that stands out. If you like your street photography with a side order of subtle, this isn\u2019t for you, but if you like it in your face it\u2019s worth a look.<\/p>\n
