Description
There are currently 272 London Underground, 113 Overground and 45 Docklands Light Railway stations. Luke Agbaimoni has been slowly attempting to capture visual moments at each one.
In his previous books, Tube Mapper Project photographer Luke Agbaimoni has described the London Underground as a living and breathing museum of the old and the new – and so Contrast: Photography on the London Underground was born. Here, he explores what makes the Underground stand out, with the contrast of sights and sounds as we travel through the city. Timeless hallways, modern architecture, old and new features everywhere … This collection of photography embraces the extreme variety of visual juxtapositions that you can encounter navigating the London Underground network.
