East London is world-renowned for its vibrant creative community. Photographer Jenny Lewis takes us behind closed studio doors and into the minds and spaces of a tribe of artists who have defined the area but now risk losing their studios through rapid social upheaval.
Jenny Lewis grew up in Little Clacton, Essex. She moved to London over twenty years ago after acquiring a Fine Art degree from Preston University. Since then she has made her living as an editorial photographer, but alongside this continues to pursue a range of personal work. Much of this centers on her experience of living and working in London. In 2015 she published One Day Young with Hoxton Mini Press, a series that captures mother and child in the first twenty-four hours of life. The project aims to dilute the culture of fear surrounding birth; it’s about empowering women and celebrating this transition. Whether photographing a celebrity, a new mother or the plethora of artists found in this book, her aim and approach is the same: to put the subject at ease and share a little about their world.

A rare look into the hidden spaces where artistic magic happens. Jenny described it herself saying, Doing this project has been like lóT
