Hassidim Orthodox Jews portrayed in Stamford Hill photographic exhibition
A photographic exhibition giving a rare insight into the rituals of the Orthodox Jewish community is on display in Stamford Hill.
The self-contained Hassidim community is something of a mystery, even to other London Jews, and documentary photographer Andrew Aitchison puts it down to building relationships and gaining their trust that he was able to photograph them over the course of five years.
The photos can be seen at Madame Lillie's Gallery, 10 Cazenove Road in Stamford Hill, from Friday to Sunday from noon to 6pm.
