Taken over the last two decades, these photographs explore Asian society in Britain and trace the growth from the small post-war communities of men and women who emigrated from the Asian sub-continent. Tim Smith?s thoughtful photographs explore this vital British presence delighting in individual distinctiveness, whilst being keenly alive to the binding power of community.
Smith comments: ?During the years I've been taking these photographs I've witnessed a story of extraordinary change. It's been fascinating to explore how Britain's Asian communities became established, and have since grown and diversified beyond recognition. I've felt privileged to have been invited to photograph events within the communities, as well as showing how many aspects of their lives have now have entered the mainstream. While acknowledging some of the tensions that exist the exhibition celebrates a growing self confidence and visibility amongst British Asians, demonstrating how Britain has become their home ground.?
In 1986 Tim Smith set up the photographic department of Bradford Heritage Recording Unit. Throughout the 1990s he worked as a press photographer, commissioned regularly by papers such as the Guardian, Observer, Independent, Daily Telegraph, The Times and The Times Educational Supplement. He now works for a wide range of arts, editorial and commercial clients and his exhibitions have toured nationally and internationally. He has published eight books. The book Asians in Britain is published by Dewi Lewis at ?15.99 (ISBN: 1 904587 09 7).
