Inspired by Bermondsey and the “Age of Glamour” photographer Steve Nyman has produced a series of black and white shots for the installation. Shot and styled in and around Bermondsey Village using clothes and accessories from local boutiques and shops, Nyman’s reference is this unique area of London where old and new meet.
Working with local businesses in Bermondsey Street Nyman used clothes from local boutique Pussy Willow, flowers from Igloo florist, dog collars from pet accessory shop Holly and Lil, props from lifestyle / interiors store 167 Bermondsey, T-shirts and underwear from The Cockfighters of Bermondsey, shoes from eco shoe-store Terra Plana, dresses from Zandra Rhodes and hair was style by hairdresser Andrew Brown.
This is Nyman’s first exhibition in London. He has previously exhibited in Greece, Paris and Israel. His work can also be seen in the 60’s inspired prints in the Bermondsey Square Hotel across the Square.
