For over 40 years, from the 1950s until the late 1990s, Harry Jacobs worked as a commercial studio photographer in Stockwell, London, SW9. In this time, he took an estimated 60,000 photographs. Jacobs'compelling archive captures generations of individuals and families, their hopes and achievements.

Brixton Studio combines selected images from the archive with new work by four contemporary artists commissioned to use Brixton as their 'studio'.
