A Year in London… snapshots capturing the heart of the capital
A photobook that captures London’s transport network and the heart of the capital, shot over a period of a year, has been released.
Amadeus Long shares with readers the efforts of his 2016 project to visually capture each of London’s 272 Tube stops and surrounding areas in his photographic compendium, A Year in London.
It’s presented in a hardcover coffee table format.
Capturing the heart and soul of a system that has served the capital well since 1863, when the Metropolitan Railway between Paddington and Farringdon became the first urban underground railway in the world, A Year in London is a photographic spectacle.
Amadeus, 33, said: “In 2016, I spent a year photographing the areas immediately surrounding every station on the entirety of London’s vast underground system. I started on January 1, 2016, and 272 Tube stops later I finished on December 24 of the same year.
“The book seeks to blend many photographic styles from street to architecture to nature and encapsulates London’s manic grandeur into a visually stimulating and socially curious book.”
