National Front street Rally in Fulham on August Bank Holiday, deliberately planned to coincide with the Notting Hill Carnival.
Best known for his pictures of uncomfortable subjects such as protest, drug abuse, racial politics and homelessness, David Hoffman began his work in the mid 1970s. Choosing to “photograph in an oppositional way to the state” he has built a body of work based around the belief that visual evidence of society’s problems can motivate people to respond with positive action.
Wanting to engage head on with the problems on his own doorstep, Hoffman’s photographs are based firmly in Britain rather than trawled from the more exotic and photogenic hot spots of the third world.
