COLIN O’BRIEN – COMMONPLACE

Posted on 2012-07-30

With an exceptional eye for the overlooked details of the world around him, O’Brien has faithfully documented the changing urban and social landscape of London over the course of more than 60 years. His spellbinding photographs capture beauty, grace and dignity in the seemingly mundane business of ordinary people going about everyday life, creating a unique record of the London landscape, in a spiralling cycle of demolition, development and re-imagination.
