From the upper deck



 


These images form part of a photography project from Przemek Wajerowicz, shot over seven years from the upper deck of London buses. Though not a new perspective for most Londoners, Wajerowicz's photographs capture the capital brilliantly, warts and all.

Monday Portrait: Jozi by Rankin



A departure from the fashion photography for which he is known - Rankin's 2010 portrait of Jozi who the photographer met on a trip to South Africa.  

Monday Portrait: Georgia O'Keeffe by Alfred Stieglitz

Aside from the warm sepia tones, the colour scheme of this Monday Portrait reminds us of early January mornings in London.

Detroit x2

















































































Photographer and Detroit local Kevin Bauman has spent years documenting the city's abandoned homes. In contrast to Bauman's poignant images, fellow Detroit artist Tyree Guyton reinvigorates the city's deserted homes with blasts of colour and kitsch. Guyton's weird and wonderful Heidelberg Project stretches across two blocks, transforming them into a community art space.
