Metropole
Once the Metropole or mother city at the heart of a vast global empire, London is now the dominion to a new world power. Subject to the flows of global finance and whims of markets, the city has become little more than an investment opportunity for multinational developers and overseas investors. Metropole records the brutally disorientating effects of this by documenting these legions of new corporate and residential blocks as they are constructed and occupied.
Hasankeyf
Hasankeyf is an ancient town in Southeastern Turkey, located along the Tigris
river in the Batman province. It was established in the 18th century BC and in
1981, almost 3600 years later, it was declared a natural conservation area by
Turkey. In spite of this, it’s been regularly flooded as part of a dam-building
project, regardless of the concerns raised by the local population and the
international community.

Coastal Mammoth
The 2011 tsunami caused an unprecedented amount of damage, chaos and grief.
Everyone in Japan was affected in one way or another. The Japanese
government soon began to erect a gigantic wall at the cost of billions in
the northeast region of the country after the earthquake that caused the
tsunami.
Ebbing Away of Identity with the Tides
Sushavan Nandy, based in Kolkata, focuses on the climate catastrophe, society,
culture and the crises experienced by humankind collectively. He enjoys working
on long-term photographic projects as it allows him to delve deep and explore
issues in depth rather than simply scratch the surface; he has been published by
the Guardian, CNN, New York Magazine, Vogue India, British Journal of
Photography, and many others.
As a young child Nandy experienced the effects of climate change. He lived in

Beach Boulevard
Brian O’Neill is an Illinois-based sociologist and photographer whose work looks
at the human condition and society’s relationship to nature. He investigates the
various meanings of “industry” and how it affects local communities and
environments. Beach Boulevard, his first photographic publication, is a small
spiral-bound book in a small edition of 100. Rather than probing the typical
documentary question “what’s going on here” it delves deeper and wonders how we
actually got to our current sta
Holidays — The Wait
Floriana Avellino captures the joy of going on a holiday and its little, often unnoticed moments in her project The Wait. The body of work focuses in particular on the moments before departure, which are often ignored as the main part of the “real” holiday tends to be what interests most.
Casitas
The project exposes the living conditions that Puerto Ricans have to endure such as natural catastrophes, limited government support and unstable electric service. Although the series began in 2013, it wasn’t until 2017 when Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico that Saldaña realised the series is something more than just a personal project — it is a testament of the residence of the local population.
Balaganza
A spotlight on the drag queens in the only gay bar in Lithuania. Forcedly hidden from the public eye in the post-Soviet country, these performances seem too deliberately shocking for the part of the society.
Missed Care
The referendum on the UK’s membership of the EU was one of the most divisive
moments in modern history — back in 2016 and ever since then, the country felt
more polarised than ever before with a clearly growing sense of “us” and “them”.
People were either unable to or would refuse to see some of the good points that
the other side was making. The Remain side was branded “Project Fear” as they
were providing predictions of what would happen. Some of these didn’t happen,
but others, unfortunately,
Appalachia. Mountaintops to Moonscapes
Appalachia, Virginia is mainly known for two reasons. The first is that
it’s an incredibly resource-rich territory; it supplies two-thirds of the
nation’s coal reserves. Coal is an outdated energy source, which is
damaging to the environment as it’s slowly being phased throughout the
whole world in
