In the face of the law and a hostile public, they are united by a passion and a way of life that few outsiders appreciate.

After the London 2011 riots, young photographer Julian Mährlein set out to capture the faces and voices of inner-city teenagers. The resulting portraits, shot on the streets with natural light, reveal the surprisingly tender side of a generation so often misrepresented and which faces a world in profound flux.
Always looking for new ways to represent current social and political issues, Julian Mährlein’s work navigates between social documentary and portraiture. Julian grew up in Germany but completed his studies in London, receiving his BA in Photography from London College of Communication and his MA in Art & Politics from Goldsmiths. His images have been shown in the British Journal of Photography, Dazed Digital, AnOther Magazine and on the BBC as well as many other places.

ABOUT THE BOOK
New York City is defined by water, yet many of its shorelines are largely unknown. These lyrical photographs, inspired by a Walt Whitman poem, take us on a seasonal journey past sheltered bays, under great bridges and over deep rivers to give us a moving perspective on a megacity we thought we knew so well.
Susannah Ray lives in the Rockaways, a small peninsula on the edge of New York City bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, Jamaica Bay, and JFK International Airport. This intersection of city and water is at the heart of her work. Susannah studied photography at Princeton University and the School of Visual Arts MFA Program in Photography and Related Media, and is an Associate Professor of Photography at Hofstra University.
This is the first edition.
