Petticoat Lane, London

One of London's oldest street markets. Clothing, jewellery, food. The traders are the subject as much as the shoppers - patter, performance, the theatre of the sell.

Best time: Sunday morning only.

Look for: the trader in full cry. The crowd gathering. The moment of transaction.

Camera Settings

Any. Wide angle for the crowd. Portrait lens for trader faces.

The Assignment

Sunday only. Focus entirely on the traders and their performance.
