Comments on: Nicholas Sack in the City https://spitalfieldslife.com/2013/04/17/nicholas-sack-in-the-city/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Tue, 23 Apr 2013 10:34:01 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Imogen Forster https://spitalfieldslife.com/2013/04/17/nicholas-sack-in-the-city/#comment-103885 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 10:34:01 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=86703#comment-103885 Every one a subtle combination of recognition and surprise. Yes — I’ve seen such a thing, but it wasn’t like that when I looked, and I missed it.

The human figure and the abstract design held in delicate balance. More of these, please.

Makes a change from all this blurry, over/underexposed b*llsh*t you seem to get nowadays – someone who actually knows how to use a camera…

Well done, Brad, Hipgnosis it is. I had a book of their album covers once and that was some time ago. These are excellent photos that appeal to me on a strange subconscious level.
Great work.

Many of these are studies in isolation with each figure seemingly unrelated to any of the others in the frame. Very revealing about the social context of the City. It makes me glad I never worked there – but then again I never had any intention of working there!

The light angles are marvellous.

Love his understated style and wish him all the success he deserves.
is there possibly a slight tip of the hat to “Hypnosis” here ? You know……….all those surreal album covers from the “whenevers”
