Thom Atkinson and Andy Sewell

Both Thom and Andy have personal work in Hoxton Mini Press’ new publication, ‘Unseen London’. The book builds a new narrative of London through the eyes of 25 contemporary photographers and their viewpoints of London’s canals, housing estates and surreal set ups.

Thom and his sister Beth have captured the impact that the Blitz had on London with their Missing Buildings series, and Andy’s images explores the contradiction of the wilderness of the Heath in a controlled urban environment.
