Photography

Roger Mayne was a British photographer who documented working-class street life in London during the 1950s and 1960s. His black-and-white photographs captured children at play, corner shops, and domestic scenes in neighborhoods like Brockley and Bethnal Green, creating an archive of postwar urban life with formal precision and social immediacy. Mayne's work combines the observational clarity of documentary photography with a modernist attention to composition and light.
