LONDON, UK---In his series You Get Me?
Mahtab Hussain documents the rich variety of male, working-class, British Muslim identity. An
exhibition of the work is at Autograph, London, until 1 July; a book, "
You Get Me?," will be published by Mack in June. Born in Scotland in 1981 and now based in London, Hussain is studying for a PhD in photography at Nottingham Trent university. He describes the series as ‘an intimate portrait on negotiating masculinity, self-esteem, social identity, and religion in a multicultural society faced with high unemployment, discrimination in the workplace, and racism’.
