Motivated by a love of London and its people, Peter Zelewski spent over five years taking photographs of strangers throughout the city. This collection of 100 powerful portraits, accompanied by intimate quotes, is a celebration of the diversity and spirit of one of the world's most dynamic cities.
Born in Detroit and having made London his home for the past 30 years, Peter Zelewski has long considered himself a Londoner. With his mother having grown up just off the Caledonian Road and family full of Arsenal supporters, London has always been in his blood. Peter’s unique style of street portraiture has earned him a place of numerous publications and exhibitions including at the National Portrait Gallery, London. Peter divides his time between commercial photography and self-initiated portraiture projects.

'London 1977–1987', 104pp, cloth spine, 156mm x 196mm. Photography by Berris Conolly. With an introduction by Geoff Nicholson.
Book 9 in the series 'Vintage Britain'
These pensive black-and-white photographs from the 70s and 80s document the capital’s urban landscape and its people. Sometimes puzzling, often mysterious, Berris Conolly’s images show parts of London that many may never have seen; for others they will be a portal to the past.
Berris Conolly, formerly a commercial photographer, turned to documentary photography in the 70s, at first capturing his neighbourhood in Hackney before a commission took him to Sheffield – where he still lives today.

'Déjà View'. A collaboration between Martin Parr and The Anonymous Project. 144pp, hardback, 205 x 155mm.
This book is a playful conversation between two important bodies of photographic work. Each spread of Déjà View pairs one of Martin Parr’s iconic snapshots with an image from The Anonymous Project’s collection of found amateur photographs taken between the 1950s and 80s. These unnervingly similar ‘twin’ pictures remind us of photography’s greatest power: to intimately preserve everyday moments of humour, warmth, ennui and absurdity.
Martin Parr is one of Britain’s most esteemed and well-loved photographers; he has published around 40 solo photobooks and has been a member of Magnum Photos for nearly 30 years.
The Anonymous Project is dedicated to collecting and preserving mid-century colour slides from around the world. Started in 2017 by filmmaker Lee Shulman, the project brings to light Kodachrome memories that might otherwise be lost forever.
This is the first edition.
