VICTORIA BIRKINSHAW       /       London Polaroids


I am shooting on the street, mostly in East London, where I have been living until recently. The work is about the life I see around me, about consumption, existance, opportunity, need, waste, excess and lack. It is what I see day to day, a world where little makes sense to me, but where people some how or other continue on taking from one another and occasionally giving. I feel a tourist here, watching from the bus, or across the street as peoples little lives happen in front of me.
