The magazine of the photo-essay
May 2018 issue
“A free, really high quality photo-essay magazine. Fabulous!”
Stephen Fry. British actor, writer and film maker
On 11 May 2018, the Museum of London will launch a major new exhibition
showcasing both contemporary and historic imagery that explores the capital after
hours.
Well-known photographers including Bill Brandt, Bob Collins, Brian Griffin, Tish
Murtha, Tim Peake, Rut Blees Luxemburg, William Eckersley, Dougie Wallace and
Nick Turpin will sit alongside lesser-known artists who explore the dreamy,
threatening and shadowy world of the city after the sun goes down.
Split into three sections to reflect the different sides of London’s nocturnal character,
the book contains essays by Museum of London’s Curator of Photographs, Anna
Sparham, poetry by award-winning poet and playwright Inua Ellams, and over 100
images from the exhibition that span the genres of architectural, documentary and
portrait photography. Step into the night and discover a darker, richer side to the
capital. Available from Hoxton Mini Press
