Urban Tales series

A collection of photographs taken mostly, but not exclusively, in East London tells the untold and extraordinary story of ordinary people, places and objects inhabiting all walks of life.

“I never switch off, I constantly look at every street corner in search of something. I see remarkable communicative power in unremarkable things or hidden beauty , I imagine situations that are not happening before my eyes, I see another side of a given story and a universe in and around every person, place or object I come across. The world amazes me, for there’s something extraordinary in everything that we consider ordinary, even in the most seemingly insignificant things.” Gianluca Bonomo

Below is a small selection from “Urban Tales” series, which includes dozens of pictures. I am currently seeking the right publishing partner to bring this collection to print and am open to serious editorial proposals.
