Dalston, London

Kingsland Road and the streets around it. Turkish and Kurdish businesses, music venues, barbershops, the Ridley Road market end. A high street that still functions as community rather than destination.

Best time: Saturday all day. Weekend evenings for the nightlife crowd.

Look for: the barbershops - great portraits if you ask. The mix of communities on the same stretch of road.

Camera Settings

Any. Flash at night.

The Assignment

Walk the full length of Kingsland Road. Photograph the businesses and the people using them.
