'Hackney Marshes' by Freya Najade, 96pp, cloth bound cover, 237mm x 285mm. With an introduction by Rosalind Jana.
Freya Najade takes us on a journey through the uncontainable wildness of the Hackney Marshes; an explosion of nature in the heart of the city, where ancient trees and grasslands are overlooked by tower blocks and pylons. Following the meadows and riverbanks, abandoned infrastructure and football pitches, Najade documents the magic of these overgrown spaces and the people who seek refuge there.
Freya Najade is a photographer currently based between London and Hamburg. Najade is the also the author of Along the Hackney Canal, published by Hoxton Mini Press in 2016.
