In 1979 Derek Bishton, Brian Homer and John Reardon created a pop up photography studio on the street in Handsworth, Birmingham. They invited passers-by to take their own photograph, passing them the shutter release so they could control the process of representation.
Steppers - AKA Ting A Ling - now runs a youth project in Handsworth, “For a 13-year-old boy, it was fascinating, that kind of thing never happened in Handsworth.”

Thomas Annan (born Dairsie, Fife 1829) was a Scottish photographer, notable for being the first to record the bad housing conditions of the poor. In 1866 he was commissioned to make photographic records of the condemned streets and wynds of Glasgow.

In 1811 Glasgow had a population of approximately 100k by the mid 1840s this had almost tripled to just under 300k. Life expectancy in the slums plummeted, in the 1830s and 1840s it was 27: the lowest it had been since the Black Death.
