Tara Darby, ‘We Are Only Humans’

As an inadvertent pastime, Tara began carrying her camera around while living in Hackney, engaging with a succession of local characters that took her eye. These documentary portraits, collated under the title ‘We Are Only Humans’, are an unsentimental pictorial celebration of the liveliest post code of the liveliest city in the world at a unique moment of transition.

Tara’s pictures are about the connection between human beings and their landscape; about society functioning and malfunctioning at an instinctive level with its surroundings. Text by Heidi James.
