I know there are women in these photos but they do show how the city is very masculine world. An excellent mix of documentary and stylish composition.

Not so very long ago all of these men would have been wearing a bowler hat, and would have been carrying a briefcase and an umbrella!!

I love these unreal, subtle, absurd photos. City architecture is so horrid, but its scale is fascinating and threatening at the same time.
They very much remind me of architect plan drawings or scale models with the little railway figure people dotting around.
All looks a bit lonely and mad.

What a wonderful group of photos, with an fresh POV for city photos. These are witty and accessible, a far cry from all the street photography of the last 30-40 years, the Garry Winogrand grab shots and all.

Bravo, Nicholas Sack!!

All those men with their hands in their pockets!

What does it do to the line of their suits? And weren’t they told not to keep their hands in said pockets when they were boys? There are such things as gloves after all.

Do so admire and enjoy Nicholas’s perceptive (and selective) vision. Congratulations on the new book!

Gentle Author,
You are starting to reveal your personal persuasions far too easily: “…the overbearing corporate architecture creates tense spaces which are not designed for lingering…”.
I think I’m going to have to put a pound into a piggy bank for each time you use the two words overbearing and corporate when referring to the City in your blogs and some good might result. I might even be able to raise funds for a beer or two at a spot in the City where I can linger!
I’m not too sure either about the “mysterious tribe” inhabiting the square mile. I appreciate the artistic use of adjective but a disproportionate chunk of workers are probably East Londoners, the rest Home Counties. Mysterious tribe almost confers a sense that they are unusual,perhaps not understood and a people apart whereas I’d say the exact opposite is more likely to be true!
Best regards

What fantastic and almost surreal photos, thanks for sharing. Valerie
