Book 8 from the series 'East London Photo Stories'
‘Lost In The City’ by Nicholas Sack. 96pp hardcover, quarter-bound, gold foiled,199 x 139 mm, Introduction by Iain Sinclair
This book is also available to buy as a Collector's Edition here.
Nicholas Sack's black and white photographs of office workers in and around the City of London capture isolated individuals and set them against the imposing architecture of modern London. The work is beautiful but also unnerving and reminds us of the alienation that can be felt in the heart of a city as well as obliquely commenting on the moral uncertainty of the banking practices in the City . The book is accompanied by an introductory essay by the well-known writer Iain Sinclair.
After drumming in rock bands and gaining a master’s degree in journalism, Nicholas Sack took up photography in his mid-twenties. He enjoyed a thirty-year career freelancing for magazines, but now concentrates on personal projects shot on black & white film on long walks across London and printed in his darkroom. This is Sack’s second book; Uncommon Ground was published to critical acclaim in 2004.
This is the first edition.

As Featured in Creative Review and Huck Magazine
This book is also available to buy as a Collector's Edition here
In 2008 the financial crash hit the City of London. Panic filled the air and people working for the giant money machine seemed oblivious to a photographer working quickly and quietly in their midst. Now, over a decade later, these images question what we have learned... if anything at all.
Stephen McLaren moved to Bethnal Green in 1996, became a photographer, and quickly realised he never wanted to live anywhere else in London other than the East End. Stephen has written a number of books on photography, including 'Photographers’ Sketchbooks', and currently works as a photographer and writer in Los Angeles.
