About

David Hoffman’s bold, humane photography records a lost era, speaking vividly to our own times. When Hoffman was a young photographer, he came to live in a squat in Fieldgate Mansions in Whitechapel and it changed his life. Over the following years, he documented homelessness, racism and the rise of protest in startlingly intimate and compassionate pictures to compose a vital photographic testimony of resilience.
