IMAGES of the excluded and unwanted people in our midst are the subject of a powerful new exhibition in the region.
World-renowned photo-journalist Nick Danziger spent two years in the mid-1990s among Britain's most marginalised people.
The exhibition of his work, titled Danziger's Britain: A Journey to the Edge is now showing at the University Gallery, at the University of Northumbria in Newcastle.
The images of the dispossessed are counterpointed with portrait photographs of the great and the good, including the Prime Minister, a judge and an Army commander-in-chief.
The photo-journalist's work in Britain was highlighted in a Channel 4 documentary series Postcards from the Edge and The Establishment.
A spokesman for Northumbria University said: "Combining fly-on-the-wall verismo and an exhilarating sense of pictorial composition, these images demonstrate a breathtaking candour."
Nick Danziger, born of an English mother and American father, was brought up in Switzerland before moving to England.
He has worked around the world.
His exhibition, based on his book The British, A Photographic Journey, is at the University Gallery, Library Building, Sandyford Road, until February 15. Admission is free.
