To get to know my new local community and the neighbourhood I’ve started a personal project called ‘Welcome to Plaistow’. A faux advertising campaign for the E13 area capturing the institutions, characters and business that define this part of London.
The first shoot was at Nathans Pies and Eels on Barking Road. Nathans is a family business that’s serving pies and eels since 1923. Feeding generations of eastenders a visit to the shop has long been a regular feature in many West Ham fans matchday with the shop being located right outside Upton Park stadium.
However the local market for their food has shifted with the changing local population and with the upcoming move by West Ham away from Upton Park to the Olympic stadium the future of their business is in doubt.
In case you haven’t noticed you’ve now arrived at the new all improved watchlooksee.com!
I thought it was about time to shake things up, give my website a little more impact, and to make it easier for myself to post recent work that I do on this site, and through some new, some updated social network profiles. Its not completely finished yet so please bear with me over the next couple of weeks while I iron out all the issues…. If we’re not already connected please visit the social media profiles below to link up.
I’ll be posting new work and old in here to keep things moving so stay tuned. You can grab the RSS feed HERE
