Covers

This photograph is part of my project Covers which documents record covers shot in various locations around the world. Since 2014 I have tracked down the locations of these record covers and re-photographed them in their original setting, decades later.

This photograph of Smiley Cultures Cockney Translation record was taken on Plough road, Battersea, London SW11

David Emmanuel aka Smiley Culture died 10 years ago while in Police Custody. On 15 March 2011, Police conducted a botched raid that led to the death of the British reggae star. There has been no criminal charges brought against any of the police officers involved.

50% of this sale will be donated to these 2 charities:

Code 7 is a UK-based charity set up by Smiley Cultures sparring partner Asher Senator, providing mentoring for underprivileged young people in South London.
