David Widgery by Syd Shelton
‘For a generation of EastEnders, Dr David Widgery was “the Doc”, the GP at the end of hours in the waiting room at Dr Liebson’s surgery in Bethnal Green and the Gill Street practice in Limehouse, or running around the housing estates on home visits. I visited and photographed many of his patents with him before his untimely death in 1991’

Broadway Market by Francesco Ragazzi
Between 2015 and 2016, Ragazzi shot more than 50,000 pictures through the window of the grocery shop where he worked on Broadway Market. At times he triggered the shutter himself; otherwise he left the camera to shoot at regular intervals, letting the spectacle of the scene outside gradually unfold
Dad Side of the Bed from You Are My One and Only by Oliver Woods
‘This is from a wider series about the house I grew up in, which I photographed extensively after the deaths of my parents. Within this sits another story about my childhood and my relationship with my parents following the deaths of my younger brother and sister from an ultra-rare genetic condition. In the years that followed, mum used to say to me: “You are my one and only.” This phrase always felt finely balanced between love and loss’
