In the noisy bustle of London’s West End, I have been looking for sanctuaries of quietness and contemplation. I found them in the back alleys and doorways of Chinatown.

At night, when the countless restaurants compete for tourists and theatregoers, throngs of visitors collide with Chinatown’s tight-knit ethnic community. By the time the restaurants open, some of the kitchen staff have already been working since early morning. Many of them are recent immigrants who speak little more than a few words of English. Some will have clocked more than 60 hours when the week is over.

Founded in Brixton 1995, Alabama 3 achieved success when the producers of hit TV series The Sopranos chose the track "Woke Up This Morning" for the show's opening credits.

Made in Brixton – After Dark

Six images from my series 吸烟的厨师 are on display at Photofusion in Brixton until 6 September.

The exhibition Made in Brixton – After Dark is part of a summer of collaboration with the Museum of London, around their current exhibition “London Nights.” Anna Sparham, Curator Photographs at the Museum of London, selected the work of seven artists, including David Axelbank, Anthony Carr, Cordelia Grabbe, Caroline Jane Harris, Dee Ramadan, Alex Stone and myself.

Have a look at more images from the series here.
